What Words Go Together?

At the end of class, review the reading and vocabulary by discussing what words together or collocation. This is an important by often-ignored area of language. Select a word from the text, and put it on the board: suggestion. Ask students what words might go with that. They may use their books to come up with “make” (not “do”) and “offer.”

 

Knowing the words that go together help student fluency because they won’t have to search for the next word.
