Teaching Techniques: Physical Vocabulary in the Beginner-Level Classroom
Maiullo, Jonathan
English Teaching Forum, v54 n1 p31-34 2016
After having success with this warm-up activity in his theater classes, the author adapted it for his beginner-level English classes, knowing his students would appreciate the opportunity to move around. The activity allows students to create their own physical interpretation of a vocabulary word, which increases their ability to remember it (Asher).
