Phrasal verbs (also called multi-word verbs) are idiomatic expressions, combining verbs and prepositions to make new verbs whose meaning is often not obvious from the dictionary definitions of the individual words. They are widely used in both written and spoken English, and new ones are formed all the time as they are a flexible way of creating new terms. A phrasal verb consists of a verb and a preposition or adverb that modifies or changes the meaning; 'give up' is a phrasal verb that means 'stop doing' something, which is very different from 'give'. Phrasal verbs can be divided into groups: Intransitive verbs These don't take an object Example: They had an argument, but they've made up now. Inseparable verbs The object must come after the particle. Example: They are looking after their grandchildren. Separable verbs With some separable verbs, the object must come between the verb and the particle: The quality of their work sets them apart from their rivals.

Online conferences and teacher professional development: SLanguages and WiAOC 2009 On the Internet Online conferences and teacher professional development: SLanguages and WiAOC 2009 Vance Stevens Petroleum Institute vancestev@gmail.com Gavin Dudeney Consultants-e dudeney@gmail.com Educators are constantly networking with one another. Brick and mortar educational institutions almost always have some form of staff room or teacher's lounge, and since the advent of the Internet, the staff room has extended virtually beyond the physical walls. The common motivator stoking this enthusiasm is a desire to learn as much as possible about educational technology. Language teachers were among the earliest educators to see the value in networking via the Internet. The trouble was that before 2005 there was usually a registration fee for participation in such conferences, though some might waive fees for student presenters, as did Teaching in the Community Colleges in 2003 < WiAOC 2009 SLanguages 2009

The classes are open to men and women of all ages and all backgrounds. Day 1 I usually walk into the first day of class and tell everybody my name, where I live and where I'm from in English. Next, I explain that I will introduce myself in English and that they should try to listen for what they can understand. I ask the members to pair up with someone who has about the same English ability and we practice the Meeting Someone For The First Time section and the What/Who Is Your Favorite..... section. The amount of time that I spend on Pronunciation depends on the group. Day 2 Day 3 I take three or four different menus to explain and then a stack of the same kind of menu to hand out.
