Over our years of teaching, we have noticed that often students have a breakdown in communication because they forgot the vocabulary word they need, or they just have never encountered it. They also often can’t understand content because they don’t understand a word that is key. So today Krista and Sandrine are talking about circumlocution. What is it? What does the research say about it? What activities and tasks can we do with our students to help them overcome the language blank they're sure to encounter in their speech?
