Word Formation
I did a fun activity with the B2 group today – a game taken from Straightforward Upper-Intermediate which practises word formation.
Each group of two or three students has a question board and there is a questionmaster who has the answer sheet. The object of the game is to get for boxes in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally). Learners choose a square and must produce the correct form of the word given; if they’re correct, they win the square and can colour it in.
Use of English activities can sometimes be a little dry and although this has the disadvantage of not showing the word in context (which goes a long way to helping identify the form of the word needed in the exam), it does make for an enjoyable, competitive way to practise this skill.
Thanks Teresa. Really like this for my adult exam classes.
