echo the words the same way as they have heard them. Vary your voice: One
word aloud, the next word you may whisper, the next one at high pitch, the next one slowly, then quickly etc. Ask them to picture the word in the Picture Dictionary in their minds. a v i Read my lips: Ask the students to open their eyes again. Mouth the words without using your voice. The students are asked to guess which word you “said”. v k i , a What’s the missing word? Pair work: A closes his/her eyes, B covers (with an eraser etc.) the word (not the picture) in the Picture Dictionary. B asks, “What’s the missing word?” A names it and ask B now to close his/her eyes. With high ability groups they can even cover two and more words. k v i , a Visual anchoring. Ask your students to take a pencil. Name one word after the other from the Picture Dictionary and link it with a number. (e.g. one…angry, two…late, three…) and ask the students to write the numbers next to the pictures of the Picture Dictionary. The students are asked to memorize the words with the a v 17 appropriate numbers. Give them some time to do that. Now ask them to close their books. Name a number. The students name the matching word. k Definitions Of course, reliance on real objects, illustration, or demonstration, is limited. It is one thing to mime a chicken, but quite another to physically represent the meaning of a word like intuition or become or trustworthy. Also, words frequently come up incidentally, words for which the teacher won't have visual aids or realia at hand. An alternative way of conveying the meaning of a new word is simply to use words — other words. This is the principle behind dictionary definitions. Non-visual, verbal means of clarifying meaning include: • providing an example situation • giving several example sentences • giving synonyms, antonyms, or superordinate terms • giving a full definition All of the above procedures can be used in conjunction, and also in combination with visual means such as board drawings or mime. Although a verbal explanation may take a little longer than using translation, or visuals or mime, the advantages are that the learners are getting extra 'free' listening practice, and, by being made to work a little harder to get to the meaning of a word, they may be more cognitively engaged. Obviously, it is important, when using words in order to define other words, that the defining words themselves are within the learners' current range. Download 0.75 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
