hi everyone, I have a question: when should vocab be taught? I mean at which stage of a lesson?
well, I �ll try to explain how things work in our textbooks:
we have a warm-up: some questions or pictures to start with (raise interest in the topic)
then we have the main skill of the lesson (generally listening or reading)
during this stage we have to teach grammar, functions and vocab
finally we can practise then finish up with a productive activity like a role-play or a writing activity.
I �m asking about stage (2) (the reading or listening stage)
I want to know whether I should teach vocab before starting the comprehension questions (filling in a table, wh questions...) or should I do it when I �m done with the comprehension questions.
In my opinion: it �s better to do it before the comprehension questions because once pupils understand the vocab, they �ll be able to answer the questions. but it �s not recommended. some say that it should be dealt with while answering the comprehension questions
what about you?
