Title: Ideas for Teaching Idioms in ESL
Body: A TESL-L listserv user suggests the following for teaching English idioms: Visual reminders can go a long way to help students understand and use idioms. I gave an assignment where I had students work in partners. I had idioms written on slips of paper, and the students drew one. One partner wrote the idiom on a sentence strip, and the other partner drew a picture on a large sheet of paper. There were very cute representations of such idioms as: button your lip, on top of the world, like a chicken with your head cut off, etc. We posted as many of these as our bulletin boards would hold. There's a cute poster of a number of idioms illustrated at this website--the top poster--back to school with idioms: http://www.teachertools.org/bulletinboards_dynam.asp#eoy You may be familiar with this website for ideas for idioms: http://www.eslcafe.com/idioms/id-list.html Pfeifer, J.

Title: Idea for Using Paintings in Language Class
Body: A TPRS user suggests the following activity to do with prints of famous paintings: I have an activity I do that's total comprehensible input, but kids think they are just getting to draw! I have a famous painting in my hand, one I can TPRS easily and the kids can draw quickly, and I generally have written up the description/directions. I've used a Renoir, the one with the little girl and the hoop. I'd say, "There's a girl in the middle of the portrait. She is facing to the right. She has curly dark blonde hair, and has a hoop in her left hand. She has pink cheeks. Her dress is light blue....." You get the picture. I used a Velasquez for my Spanish kids. I have them listen through once so they know what's expected, making sure all is comprehensible, writing words on board they may not know. Then I keep repeating it until everyone is finished. I then tell them that they are the famous artist X, and show them the real thing. Well, a copy!! They are always delighted at how closely they have come to the painting, and I hang them on the bulletin board to share. You can do this with ANY painting. It can also work another way---have the painting copy for the class to see, and talk about it. Like the little girl---where is she playing? Are her friends nearby? Did you ever use a hoop? When were they popular? Barry, R. RE: [moretprs] Monet exhibit and TPRS. MoreTPRS listserv (moretprs@yahoogroups.com, 29 Jul 2007).
