Do You Play Boxing? <\/em>by Robyn Kincaide (South Korea ETA)<\/p>\n

One of the most difficult parts of a foreign language is recognizing when there is not a direct translation from one\u2019s native tongue. While it borrows words and syntax from other languages, English has \u00a0nuances that can easily trip up those who are not native speakers.<\/p>\n

One such nuance is the variety of verbs English speakers use with different sports. Sometimes we \u201cplay\u201d a sport, sometimes we \u201cdo\u201d it, \u00a0and other times we \u201cgo\u201d. In order to address this confusion, South Korea ETA Robyn Kincaide created a lesson explaining in what context to use each of these three verbs. After going through the introduction, students play a Connect 4 game in order to practice using them. (The Connect 4 template was modified from a template found on waygook.org.)<\/p>\n

This lesson plan incorporates a lot of technology usage, but could easily be taught with no tech as well.<\/p>\n
