The Phrasal Verb Academic Calendar (PVAC): A 14-Week Vocabulary Tool for English Language Learners

Phrasal verbs, distinguished by their idiomatic meanings and context-dependent usage, provide a significant challenge for students learning English as a second language. Classroom observations indicate that many students tend to memorise phrasal verbs without demonstrating a clear understanding of their practical application. This project outlines a fourteen-week academic calendar structured around a weekly root word theme, featuring one phrasal verb for each day of the calendar. The objective of this initiative is to enhance consistency, practicality, and engagement in learning. Students can enhance their retention and use of phrasal verbs in practical contexts through frequent exposure and practice. The Phrasal Verb Academic Calendar (PVAC) is a simple yet effective resource suitable for both classroom teaching and self-directed learning. It aids students in cultivating their confidence and fluency progressively.
