This video shows how effectively a simple diagram can communicate meaning. The relationship between words describing temperature is demonstrated by placing them on a scale. This technique visually defines word meaning for EFL students.

  • Excellent performance I´d like you can show more videos of different activities

  • It's a great technique and can work well. I was a bit concerned when she had her student say 'Last summer was more scorching...' though. Scorching is already an extreme adjective, and shouldn't be modified like that.

  • Great technique. How do you deal with the semantic boundaries of such words? For example, if your students provided examples like 'today the classroom is lukewarm' or 'this soup is scorching'...

  • ten points, five stars

  • Eliciting, Examples, limited Explanation!!!

    Nice.
