Lecture 15 Technologies of teaching vocabulary. (10-11 forms, students of academic lyceums and vocational colleges) Plan
1.Teaching vocabulary for B1 level pupils.
2.The Innovative technologies in teaching vocabulary.
3.CEFR requirements of assessing vocabulary.
Principles of selecting vocabulary have been worked out. The words selected should be:
1.Frequently used in the language.
2.Easily combined
3.Unlimited from the point of view of style
4.Included in the topics the syllabus sets
5.Valuable from the point of view of word-building.
The number of words and phraseological units the syllabus sets for a pupil to assimilate is 800 words.
The analysis of the words within the foreign language allows us to distinguish the following groups of words: concrete, abstract and structural.
Words denoting concrete things, actions and qualities are easier to learn than words denoting abstract notions. Structural words are the most difficult for Russian-speaking pupils. The teacher should bear this in mind when preparing for the vocabulary work during the lesson.
Rules: 1.Introduce words in sentence patterns in different situations of intercourse.
2.Present the word as an element, i.e. in a sentence pattern first. Then fix it in the pupils’ memory through different exercises in sentence patterns and phrase patterns. In teaching pupils vocabulary to the ear and the organs of speech should take an active part in the assimilation of words. Pupils should have ample practice in hearing words and pronouncing them not only as isolated units but in various sentences in which they occur.
3.While introducing a word pronounce it yourself in content, ask pupils to pronounce it both individually and in unison in a context, too.
4.In teaching words it is necessary to establish a memory bond between a new word and those already covered.
