Phrasal Verbs: For Beginners Only
Nevin Siders

Phrasal verbs are an intimate, solid foundation of all Germanic languages, but perhaps even more so in English than in the others. The underlying system of English would be difficult to comprehend without them, and much of the rest of the language would be confusing and arbitrary until these items are learned.

We foreign language teachers do a great disservice to any student who we deprive of this knowledge - doubly so because there are easy, excellent ways to present phrasal verbs from the very first week of classes!

Read the entire article, which includes an explanation of phrasal verbs and descriptions of activities involving them in the first weeks of language instruction, at http://www.hltmag.co.uk/mar07/sart01.htm .
