Stages and ways of teaching vocabulary
The process of development of vocabulary subskills in the English classrooms proposes three stages.
Stage I is related to the presentation of a new vocabulary. The aim is to introduce a new word and disclose the meaning of each word. Ways and techniques to convey the meaning of a word are:
Direct way
dictionaries - used in conveying the meaning of a word;
synonyms- items that mean the same, or nearly the same; for example, clever, smart may serve as synonyms of intelligent;
antonyms- items that mean the opposite; rich is an antonym of poor;
hyponyms - items that serve as specific examples of a general concept; dog. lion, mouse are hyponyms of animal;
morphological analysis (word building)
contextual guessing - understanding the meaning through the context, or previous experience;
definitions - explanation of meaning in English with the words familiar for learners;
examples - situational and interesting information which can motivate learners;
interpretation - if there is no equivalent in the native language;
matching - synonyms, antonyms;
analysis of the structure - familiar components of the word;
making list of family words - finding the meaning of the general word via familiar words;
familiar or famous (international) words.
