I am reaching the conclusion that teaching vocabulary at advanced levels if they are not going to be exposed to it is just a bit frustrating. For them , they are not going to get many chances of acquiring it and they probably want more feeling of progress than just learning new expressions. Grammar will help them understand more, and with effort, you can actually get them to use it in an undersatable way.


We are at a stage where people have been exposed to a considerable amount of English.
Vocabulary is key.
The latest example is of somebody who says… dots meaning points. Ununderstandable nearly.
We can share this dots  based on our eHIS   
People are not aware that words don’t just have one meaning, one translation.

es el que s'ha de fer amb angles als meus adults

we insist on teaching structures and words which students will very unlikely use. Not because they lack the ability but because culturally it's just too different. they don't relate to them.
their brain uses whatever pattern it has and whatever is simpler to retrieve.
that's considering they are not exposed to real English and by real i mean British or American english, or Australian.

ensenyar angles avui en dia es desensenyar el que saben o creuen saber.
desensenyar mal habits de parla i escriptura
