[Synopsis] Apart from being fun, reading jokes is a good way for ESL/EFL learners to improve their understanding of English. Some jokes show different ways in which words are used, and such jokes make it easier for learners to remember the language points. Here is an example: āIs she making him a good wife?ā āWell, not exactly; but sheās making him a good husband.ā In this joke, the word āmakeā is used in two different patterns. In the first one, āmake him a good wifeā means ābecome a good wife for himā, while in the second, āmake him a good husbandā means ātrain him so that he will become a good husband.ā A good teacher always knows when to use a joke in his classroom. He may say, āThat reminds of a joke/storyā during his lesson and then a story follows. This will arouse the studentsā interest in his class and students never fail to like such a teacher.
