Summary:Whether it is at basic or more advanced level, the acquisition of new vocabulary increases the learners' understanding of the sequences heard or uttered therefore it adds to their motivation of learning. [...]the more learners know, the more confident they become and the more willing they are to develop their communication skills in the newly acquired language. The question of register (formal/informal) will also come up in this lesson, as well as making the difference between fact and opinion. Since our students had been previously exposed to ways of expressing affective meaning through collocations we expected them to be able to actually fulfil two tasks at the same time: use the appropriate idioms in the context of negotiations and also express their feelings and opinions towards the subjects under discussion. [...]the more learners know, the more confident they become and the more willing they are to develop their communication skills in the newly acquired language.
