For this instalment of Christmas vocab, let’s turn towards affairs of the stomach. Mince goes in a pie, but can it go in an idiom or two? Yes it can, and I’ll show you how.
Christmas Words (2): Goodwill
“Peace and goodwill”, we often hear at Christmas. Is goodwill the less interesting younger sibling of peace? Not at all! It’s an interesting word, used in a lot of contexts, and I’ve unpacked some of its other uses in this post.
Christmas Words (1): Merry
Take a whirl with me through the various meanings of this word, and a selection of idioms which are surprisingly un-Christmassy!
MINIMALISM (C1 Module)
An extensive teaching resource covering minimalist music, poetry, architecture, Marie Kondo’s ‘tidiness empire’, and corporate debranding, using these topics as a springboard for developing speaking skills and vocabulary.
EFFECTIVE EMAILS (B2 Module)
This is a 3-5 hour module designed to help high intermediate students to write more persuasive emails in a business or professional context. Includes activities and examples to raise awareness of tone (friendliness and formality) and to highlight functional language for requesting, offering, accepting, and declining.
