Elementary student : Collocations: make/do
- Verb pairing game
The teacher highlights some collocations to the students then students divided into two groups. Group 1 will have corpus-derived sentences without the verb make and do. Group 2 will have the verb make and do
Student stand in lines facing each other the ones carrying verb will take turns trying to pair their verb with the sentence to other group.
-Computer cloze activity
Examples : The little boy, Zohair, was sent to______coffee.
-Screen shot analysis
Intermediate students: Modal verbs
-Contextual Analysis
-Cloze activities
-Spot the error activity
-Multiple-choices
Upper intermediate students: Phrasal verbs
-Cloze activity
Advanced students: Idiomatic Expression:
-Concordance Analysis
-Pragmatics: Situation analysis
Certain point of designing corpus-based tasks include the ability level of the students, cultural and educational backgrounds. In class a specialized corpus is needed, EFL instructors and researchers need to make sure it is available at their institutions.
