Module 6 – Idiomatic Expressions & Natural Phrases
Lesson 1: Mastering Everyday Idioms

Lesson 2: Phrasal Verbs in Real Communication
This lesson explores phrasal verbs, a common feature of natural English. Students will learn different types of phrasal verbs (intransitive, transitive, separable, non-separable), their literal and figurative meanings, and when to use them in formal vs. informal contexts. The lesson highlights how phrasal verbs are essential in conversation but often replaced by single verbs in formal writing.

Lesson 3: Speaking Naturally – Avoiding Clichés & Forced Expressions

Students will learn to recognize and avoid them, practice replacing them with more authentic alternatives, and develop strategies for using idioms and phrasal verbs more naturally. The aim is to sound clear, fluent, and original in both speaking and writing.
