how to teach vocabulary (1)

Semantic mapping  - WORD FIELD DIAGRAMS
Visuals are an extremely useful framework for storage of lexis, and they can be used to 
highlight the relationships between items. Word field diagrams are of interest here and the 
example below could be used as a testing activity by omitting some of the items. Learners 
could also be asked to organise their own diagrams of this type.

Semantic mapping  - Wordfields
At the end of each Unit of THE NEW YOU&ME you can find Wordfields in the Workbook.

Wordfields are arranged 
according to associative 
items. Here also structures are 
included – when they can be 
linked with the same semantic 
field. Students are asked to 
remember the Wordfields the 
same way as they are lay-
outed in the book.
 

Semantic strategy - Pictorial schemata  
Creating grids or diagrams is another semantic strategy. Whether they are teacher- or student-
generated grids, these visual devices help students distinguish the differences between similar 
words and set up memory traces of the specific occurrence. Scales or clines, Venn diagram, 
and tree diagrams are especially interesting for group work when teachers present words for 
these pictorial schemata in scrambled order. Students are then asked to unscramble the words 
by putting them in a logical order.
 
Scale or cline:  
Arrange in order from happy to sad: upset, pleased, overjoyed, broken-hearted, indifferent
 
Venn diagram:  
Illustrate how “slide” or “glide” are different.
Tree diagram:  
Classify the parts of preservation.
These semantic techniques ask students to deeply process words by organizing them and 
making their meanings visual and more concrete.
