teamwork first one is teamwork obviously duh hello collaborate to collaborate as a verb to coordinate Synergy as a noun and Team Dynamics as a noun let's have a look at each of them one by one and see how we pronounce them and how we use them teamwork now teamwork is okay it's working together on an activity to achieve a common goal the common goal is important right it's not just doing things together but there's a common goal teamwork notice the stress is on team it's teamwork teamwork stress on team right teamwork we can say collocations effective teamwork effective teamwork say it with

to achieve a common goal so similar meaning but it's a verb we can say collaborate on a project notice the preposition collaborate on a project okay so you may say we had the musician earlier who

goal yes uh Muhammad difference between collaborate and cooperate very very good cooperate very very similar meaning it really is um almost the same meaning I would say absolutely the same yes excellent now I'm gonna share this comment with you because it's important I think teamwork and I didn't say this right but teamwork is it's uncount accountable right so un just means uncountable which means you cannot count we don't say one teamwork two Teamworks three Teamworks we just say teamwork some teamwork good teamwork it's uncountable so khr Explorer thank you very much for sharing and I'm going to help just by changing here because it's uncountable so we have to take off the S and make it uncountable commendable teamwork that was some really commendable teamwork that is a lovely collocation right K khr lovely thank you for sharing really really nice so back to collaboration we've got here UMO says the two companies agreed to collaborate lovely great good um on a construction project we need to have high collaboration coordination High collaboration I think the collocation here I would say let me make this a bit better because High collaboration is not a very common cation I think what would be really nice here is a high level of collaboration NE me yeah on a construction project we need to have a high level of collaboration that's a bit more natural a bit nicer I think nice uh great what else have we got just do one more collaboration is a good thing to get work done in no time lovely mamed very nice like it good okay that's collaborate the next word similar right to cooperate now here you'll notice is it is an O so this one is an O to co co co co and there's a w because we go [Music] co cooperate right [Music] cooperate so it's a o o o co P rate rate you can see it here Co P normally yeah and the r because you're linking rate rate say it with me cooperate good stress on the o co cooperate cooperate cooperate cooperate cooperate similar to collaborate cooperate on a project cooperate with someone that's a lovely o right sounds very British Co o cooperate with someone cooperate on a project um some examples the students collaborated on a group project to create a presentation that's create a presentation to their classmates uh the sales team worked in close collaboration with the marketing team uh John is on our team but he isn't cooperating he just wants to do his own thing so cooperate is the same is that you're working together for a common goal um but sometimes people don't cooperate they don't do what they're told they don't work together like John he just wants to do his own thing right he has his own idea he isn't cooperating okay good so just share some of your ideas Nini good teamwork leads to get better results yeah good uh we're making a science presentation in my class good example here we have to collaborate to make a good presentation some people write the words others add images yes collaboration skills nice good collocation like that um does teaming up mean to form a team yes in effect yeah if you team up with other people then you're forming a team yes uh Christine says if it's tough for me to recognize they accountable or not should I just remember them and move on well I strongly recommend if you're in doubt check a dictionary um and just check and then and then remember right um for example I mean a dictionary that I like is is Cambridge and so if we check let's take a word let's let's try this together right very very quickly let's say this is the Cambridge Dictionary um advice it's a noun and it's uncountable right right advice you can't say one advice you say some advice so if you're in doubt check teamwork will it give us it's a noun it's uncountable you can see here it's a noun it's uncountable so I think it's important to check and then move on uh you don't need to think about it too much and struggle with it too much but just be careful you know you you want to try and get it right when you can especially for keywords like teamwork is a key word right for this topic so you want to try and get that one right okay nice uh ioma great I'm going to help you a little bit because this is a very good example right notice my example the students collaborated on a group project can you see that excellent so let's help with yours because this is such a common mistake that students make instead of in an Afro beat project the two artists collaborated on a new afro beat project excellent great Julia says that collaboration is a Paramount importance it is indeed it is indeed yes they cooperate with me yeah you can cooperate with people examply EXA exactly yes great so the next word is to coordinate similar meaning but not quite the same right um this is to organize the different parts so they work effectively as a whole this may be the different part of of a team different people you coordinate them but it can be different things um just notice the pronunciation right um again it's a o co coordinate coordinate I strongly recommend when you're practicing this just exaggerate the stressed syllable make it longer make it louder and make the pitch higher coordinate that all coordinate okay you can always go to the dictionary right to check this I mean again if you try the the Cambridge Dictionary it's great right a because it's free but you also get the sound coordinate coordinate coordinate and you get the American sound coordinate coordinate what Co coordinate coordinate with the r right but the British one coordinate of course I'm British so I have the British pronunciation so you can do that and then when you're practicing exaggerate the stress coordinate it will help you later when you're speaking normally let's say okay nice um coordinate you can coordinate people coordinate activities coordinate a campaign so if your company is running an advertising campaign you want to coordinate the campaign coordinate the dates the activities coordinate efforts coordinate your efforts right um as a team make sure you coordinate your efforts so you can be more effective for example I need to coordinate my staff so they can work more effectively similar idea right so that's Co coordinating great Jan says I coordinate my class with different assignments when we have a party ah so each person does a different preparation right the teacher coordinates us into groups yes you can say that yes Milda you're pronouncing with an American accent it's fine right or inate I it's quite interesting for me Daniela interesting right I'm going to help you in a moment you say in a teamwork it's important having someone able to coordinate people that's very very very true just one quick thing remember teamwork is uncountable so it's in teamwork it's important having someone um I would say in teamwork it's important having someone who is able to coordinate people right make it a bit tidier great lovely danela love your hat new hat new Avatar uh Leo UA says coordinating multiple tasks is an important skill of time management absolutely very very very true nice good we've got next synergy now Synergy is an interesting word and it's all about the combined power of a group or team that is greater than the power of the individual parts right so when you put the Power of a group or a team the combined power everybody together that's bigger better and greater than the power of the individual parts right it remind me actually do you remember Muhammad Ali the famous boxer casus cray I think it was called but he he chose he became a Muslim and he chose Muhammad Ali as his name and he once once was asked to give a speech and he stood up in front of all these people and he said I have a poem for you and his poem it's one of the most famous poems um and it's just two words and his poem was I we no that was not his poem his poem was me we it has to rhyme du me we and he just said me we what a powerful poem and the meaning was of course me individually I'm strong but we are much stronger that is synergy me we Muhammad Ali great fighter so that's Synergy we talk about the Synergy between people or teams there's a strong Synergy there's a powerful Synergy right those are things we can say good Synergy powerful synergy the Synergy between people and teams for example our teams Synergy led to an Innovative solution that none of us could have developed alone Synergy notice pronunciation it's a sin uh uh remember that uh the very very relaxed uh like C collaborate sin G G it's a very short e Synergy stress is on the first one syy syy got it good Synergy powerful Synergy nice great love it you're doing really well today really well that's Synergy uh um Miss finny says the team's Synergy just be careful with the spelling but yes resulted in a highly successful project outcome yes the Synergy between parents and teachers allowed students to be educated both at home and school wow amazing lovely example uh great abdella we must develop powerful Synergy to succeed now Synergy is it countable or uncountable let's do that trick that I taught you let's go and check in the dictionary go and check together Synergy now it can be countable or uncountable right so it says here teamwork maybe I can zoom in for you teamwork is at its best results in a Synergy sorry teamwork at its best results in a Synergy okay there are always some synergies so it can be countable and here uncountable parents companies managers large companies are Desperately Seeking Synergy now this case it can be both I wouldn't worry too much so this is like Christine's question shall I worry too much about it it can be both so the chances are you're probably going to get it right because it can be used in both ways um the Synergy we must develop a powerful Synergy to succeed because I was thinking I would probably say we must develop powerful Synergy to succeed but actually it can be both right it can be both it can be uncountable or countable great dictionaries are so useful right I mean I check in the dictionary you should check in the dictionary right don't be embarrassed it's it's it's really good to double check things if you're not sure love the Avatar by the way very video gamey that's Synergy and the Synergy leads to coming up with ideas and better taking off yes good good or beta says the Synergy between the musician and the band was beautiful during performance nice very nice good let's move on the last word Team Dynamics it's a phrase really we talk about Team Dynamics Dynamics is basically motion or movement if you're dynamic as an adjective then that means you're very active you're moving a lot so it's the motion between the team it's the way that individuals in a team interact with each other it's the motion the movement within the team Team Dynamics so here Dynamics is a noun right Dynamics so you can see die the stress is on N Dynamics Dynamics the Team Dynamics are good let's not change anything for the moment you often hear this if you're a football fan or a basketball fan half time you'll hear the manager or the coach talking to the team saying great teamwork good collaboration you're coordinating well I want you to cooperate more the Team Dynamics are good so far so let's not change anything teamwork in a game right all important Team Dynamics so we've got there lots and lots of vocabulary [Music] good
