Recognising Humorous Devices

.
In this lesson we practise recognising humorous devices. This lesson aims to develop some of the skills which learners will need to be able to work out what is humorous in a text and to explain how the humour is created. These skills are often required in English exams and comprehension exercises. Although no one can be expected to know all the possible references that can be used, stress the fact that if your learners read extensively to build up their general knowledge they will be more likely to understand the references that are used in humour.
