1. Methods of teaching vocabulary.

Vocabulary is important to teach in the very first lessons because it is how students will be able to understand the words they need to use for basic communication. Vocabulary is found in every stage of an ESA lesson. In addition, vocabulary can be taught several ways. Pre-teaching and reviewing vocabulary in the study stage and then using that vocabulary in the activate stage is a good way to scaffold a lesson. However, before vocabulary can be taught it needs to be properly selected to ensure it is relevant to the lesson and at an appropriate English level. Some of the most effective ways of teaching vocabulary are using visuals and planning engaging activities. Visuals such as pictures can be used to pre-teach vocabulary for the daily lesson and review vocabulary from previous lessons. Other engaging activities include games and role plays. It is also important that teachers use multiple methods to teach vocabulary to keep students engaged in the learning process. The more students use the vocabulary, the higher the chance that they will remember it. Therefore, incorporating relevant vocabulary in every lesson is crucial.
