Ways for Teaching Vocabulary
Bobomurodova Farida
Abstract: In this article, you’ll learn how to explicitly teach vocabulary using easy-to-understand definitions, engaging activities, and repeated exposure. This strategy includes playing vocabulary games, incorporating visual supports like graphic organizers, and giving students the chance to see and use new words in real-world contexts
Key words:semantic map,ehe spay, word pairs
A solid vocabulary boosts reading comprehension for students of all ages. The more words students know, the better they understand the text. That's why effective vocabulary teaching is so important, especially for students who learn and think differently.here some ways to help you to teach vocabulary
Semantic Maps
In this activity, the teacher chooses a word and displays it for the class on a whiteboard, etc. Students read the word and then think of words that come to mind when they see that word (this is awesome because it activates prior learning). A list is created of all of the words that come to mind, and then those words are categorized.
This can be done as a whole class or in small groups. Students then create a “map” using a graphic organizer and discuss it. Additional or substitute categories can be suggested. As students read through the text, they can add related words to the map.
Eye Spy
Give students a list of words to search for in a text or have them find unfamiliar words. You can award points to the words based on different criteria (longest new word, word with most consonants, etc.). Invest in a set of inexpensive dollar store magnifying glasses to make this more game-like.
This is a great pre-reading activity.
Making Choices
Students show their understanding of vocabulary by saying the word when it applies, or remaining silent when it doesn’t. For example: “Say radiant if any of these things would make someone look radiant.”
-Winning a million dollars.
-Earning a gold medal.
-Walking to the post office.
-Cleaning your room.
-Having a picture you painted hung in the school library.
(This idea is from the book Bringing Words to Life, recommended in the books section.) This is one of the key strategies teachers need in introducing new vocabulary
Word Pairs
Give students words in pairs and have them evaluate if the words are the same, opposite, go together, or are unrelated. This strategy is terrific for building critical thinking skills along with the vocabulary.
In conclusin : Vocabulary knowledge can improve writing skills and build knowledge of other word meanings through known root words, prefixes, suffixes, and word families. Content areas such as mathematics, science, history, music, reading and language arts, and others often require content specific vocabularies. These ideas work for all vocabulary words.
