I was working with some adult English learners last week. As in every class, there are the early-finishers and this class was no exception. While the rest of the class was working on learning the names of objects in a department store, I put the early finisher to a challenge — to use the newly-acquired vocabulary in sentences, and use at least one adjective that described the object\/noun. The student set to task — but when I read the words “big” and “many” used one too\u00a0many times, I decided it was time for a little lesson on synonyms.<\/p>\n
