Phrasal verbs are ubiquitous in American English communication: let’s pick up from measure 36; could you fill in on viola tonight? In the classroom, we rely on informal language to communicate complex topics in words with which our pupils are most familiar. If our audience, however, is comprised of non-native speakers, how and when do we need to adjust the vocabulary of our instruction to allow for understanding? In this session, we will explore non-native speakers’ access points to language, the definition & function of phrasal verbs, and strategies to communicate & teach English Language Learners effectively.
