Phrasal chunks serve a variety of interper- sonal and communicative functions. After
introducing new phrasal chunks or reviewing those from the textbook, teachers ask students to categorize them by function or situation, as shown in Table 7. This activity encourages students to categorize the new phrases they have learned, enabling them to memorize the new words more easily and use them in appro- priate situations.
In this activity, students watch a video and count the new phrasal chunks they hear to raise their awareness of the overall frequency of chunks. Alternatively, the teacher prepares a script with the phrasal chunks omitted and asks students to write them in while watching the video. Afterwards, the teacher discusses the role of the phrasal chunks in the conversation and asks students to act out the new script, includ- ing the phrasal chunks studied, for practice.
