Reflection
I have taught English about three and half years but I still cannot find some suitable ways to teach lexis. Thanks to your resouces, hence I can find tons of useful methods for my further teaching.
I've been teaching for more than 30 years and I needed some fresh activities for a young student with learning difficulties who is not so intersted in learning. Thank you for all these helpful ideas! I think my lessons will be brighter using them!
