That's not a bad idea to teach the students to experiment with those tools. Certainly non-native English teachers would also benefit. Native English teachers, though... They really ought to spend more time contemplating the 'things' that the words are pointing to and why those words are chosen. Some collocations are cultural habits, but some do have an underlying logic due to the properties that the 'things' (that are being referenced by the words) have. Properties that careful thought can reveal... Though it helps if the teachers can "figure >out" exactly what "scribe" and "de-scribe" means and how to de-tail (the dog...). But that is for Native speaking English teachers to contemplate, and not to teach, of course. In the mean time, noob preceptors ought to figure out what "is" means, for it now does appear as being... (But, to whom, where from what perspective...?)🤪
Charlie!!! I'm here to do research on the new unit I'm writing on productive skills on our TESOL course. I'll include a link to this video for my trainees in our supplementary resources section in that unit. Cheers mate!
@@CharliesLessons Ah cool, I'll check that out just in case. The idea for using the CEFR tools is great! I used the CEFR English Profile site on the unit on Teaching Vocabulary, it's an excellent tool for students and teachers.

Lovely! Thank you!
Which idea did you like the most?
How reliable do you think the Duolingo CEFR checker is?
Does it still exist? I can't find it

You're right, collocations can be frustrating for learners so any kind of 'rule' or 'norm' can be useful.

A word of warning, not sure if the duolingo text checker is back online or not.

The doulingo cefr website doesn't seem to work anymore, sadly
Yes I found out in class the other day, very frustrating
Could you recommend another checker?
@@nestorperez6867 roadtogrammar has a decent one but its not as good as the Duolingo checker. Don't know why they got rid of that.
@@CharliesLessons really frustrating because it was really helpful. I'll check the one you just recommended. Thanks!
Sorry, I can't understand what you say at 0:19 :(
I say one of them is Duolingo.
Great sense of humour😅and great tips even with almost 200 students...😱😵🤪 i am going to try...💪
Thanks for the feedback. Yes it takes time to really teach students to be autonomous but it's worth it.
Sir, what is the price you charge for the course?
I currently don't run any courses but you contact me on my business address in the about section when I start.
