This is the classroom where we had our welcoming session. Tim Leigh, a senior lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, was kind to explain everything in detail suggesting interesting places to visit and how to behave.

One practical takeaway from today's session.
Gap fill exercises are very common in many coursebooks. You can turn this boring exercise into a fun-filled activity in the following way:
🔹 Before doing the activity, write the words that should be used on separate pieces of paper and put them in the far end of the classroom.
🔹 Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4 ( depending on your class size)
🔹 Tell the groups to choose one member. That member goes to the far end of the classroom, reads the words, comes back and tells what words s/he saw.
🔹 The other group members listen and fill in the blanks.
Why do I like this activity? Firstly, you can do this with almost any grammar or vocabulary gap fill exercises. Secondly, grammar is integrated with reading and listening. And thirdly, students work collaboratively.

Friday sessions at Man Met were full of hot discussions and lively interaction. The first session was led by Richard Silburn, Director of Language Center. It was about effective lesson planning. We couldn't stop talking about the importance of lesson planning and whether we can tell if a teacher is prepared or unprepared for the class 🧑‍🏫👨🏻‍🏫.
The second session, Teaching Lexis, was also engaging. Tim Leigh explained what it means to "know" a word. So I understood that vocabulary knowledge is made up of the following elements:
💡Concept (meaning)
💡Form (how to write the word in letters and in phonological form)
💡Frame (what part of speech this word is)
💡Connotation (positive, negative, neutral)
💡Situation (formal, informal, etc.)
💡Semantic relations (lexical sets, synonyms, etc.)
💡Collocations (phrases, expressions, etc.)
