Students do a worksheet that requires them to match words with definitions or pictures Students are given a picture and asked to write a story about what they think is happening Also Read: Why Cultural Sensitivity is Important Depending on students’ age The method of teaching vocabulary also is dependent on what level the class is. The sample lesson above is an example that would be more suited to intermediate to advanced classes. An advanced class can understand more directions to activities than beginner classes. For beginner classes, visuals are more effective than activities because they require less understanding of English. An example of a more beginner class could entail: Engage: Students play a game of Simon says as a warm-up to review the previous vocabulary Study:Pre-teach vocabulary using pictures. Have students do a worksheet of matching vocabulary with pictures Activate: Have students create a drawing labeling all of the vocabulary that was taught Also, teaching vocabulary online versus in a classroom looks different. In a classroom, there is more room to interact, while online the teacher is limited by the computer and what can be seen on the screen. This means the teacher has to be creative with visuals. This could include making games out of the visuals to keep it engaging. Teachers can use devices for vocabulary teaching such as simple flash-cards or word-cards. The teacher writes the English language word on one side of the card and a sentence containing the word, its definition, its synonyms and pronunciation on the other. Word cards can be an excellent memory aid. This is also a handy way for students to carry their new vocabulary around with them to look at whenever they have the opportunity. Another successful method of teaching vocabulary is the word association technique. If words are stored individually, they are more difficult to remember as they have no context.
