Common Idioms in Lectures [new 2026]

  • This 22-page workbook helps students recognise and understand idioms in academic spoken English. Using authentic lecture extracts and structured listening tasks, it covers idioms for signposting, emphasis, critical thinking, audience engagement, referencing scholarship, and concluding presentations.
  • Activities progress from identifying and interpreting idioms in context, to analysing their use in a 7-minute social media lecture, to applying them in speaking tasks. Full transcripts and answer keys are included for classroom or independent study
