rolerole ofof vocabularyvocabulary teachingteaching In the context of learning English as a foreign language a learner is forced to be autonomous and independent and make conscious effort to learn vocabulary outside the classroom simply because the exposure to the target language is limited in class So teachers cannot rely on their students picking up lexical items This makes explicit vocabulary teaching necessary However vocabulary is notoriously difficult if not impossible to teach because of the complexity of its linguistic semantic and psycho cognitive aspects II Best approach There are no universally useful strategies and they contribute to vocabulary learning in different ways Students use a number of strategies often simultaneously The efficiency of vocabulary learning depends on how students combine individual strategies If students combine and employ individual strategies from different groups they will be more successful in developing the target language lexicon Thus the ideal combination would be that of strategies from all four groups The teacher should create activities and tasks to be done both in and outside class to help students to build their vocabulary and develop strategies to learn the vocabulary on their own Students experiment and evaluate and then decide which to adopt or reject since strategies are not intended to be prescriptive III III PracticalPractical activitiesactivities Here is a selection of practical activities that direct learners towards using strategies of vocabulary learning 1 1 TheThe usefuluseful alphabetalphabet self initiated self initiated independentindependent learning learning Each student gets a letter and has to find 5 10 or 15 words he or she thinks would be useful for him or her He or she then report to the class perhaps as a mingle activity using word cards on one side they write the letter on the other the information on the word spelling pronunciation definition 2 Word bag formal practice This is to get your students to write down new words they hear in class At the beginning of the term course divide students into groups of about 5 and give each group a number e g 1 6 At the beginning of each class give each group about 10 cards on which they write the number of their group and the new words they hear in class At the end of each class they put their cards into the word bag and every 2 weeks you check whether they still know those words and which group has the most cards In the end there are two winners the group that has the most cards and the one that knows more words 3 Especially for you Functional practice The teacher prepares a list of words Each student gets one word which is prepared especially for him or her The trick is that each student gets a word whose initial letter is the same as the initial of the student s first name e g Linda gets listless Each student must look it up in the dictionary during the class and after a few minutes report to the class E g My name is Linda and I m listless That means that I am definition For homework students can do the same using their surname 4 Word tour memorizing Instructions for your students Think of a town or city you know well Imagine that you are organizing a sightseeing tour Think of 5 places you would include on your tour and write down the order in which the tourists would visit them Learn your tour off by heart so that you can picture it in your mind Whenever you have 5 new English words to learn imagine these words are the tourists on your tour and picture the words in the places on your tour like this Tour Trafalgar Square Buckingham Palace Houses of Parliament Westminster Abbey Downing Street Words to learn apron dustpan vacuum cleaner feather duster broom Imagine Nelson on his column in Trafalgar Square wearing an apron the queen brushing the floor in Buckingham Palace and using a dustpan UnitUnit 1 1 FriendshipFriendship V V Section 3 Words and expressions
