Hi my dear friends,
I have always had a problem concerning vocabulary,how to make students keep words in their mind (words can be from exercises,texts,and vocabulary itself).What system do you follow to...that takes progress during students � learning?
Thanks.
Asya

Hi Asyuta,
I keep hitting them �till they get their brain switched on..
I teach young kids & Special Needs, & their biggest problem is actually to memorize...Sooooooo, I have to use games - a lot! For ex, I write - let �s say - 10 words on the board, & have kind of a (nice ;o) competition : � Who will be the first to tell us 4 new words? � I give them some time , & then clean my board. They usually have fun, trying to remember more words than their mates.  These kids learn by DOING, so it �s better to have them DO something. As for the older ones, I never give them lists to learn, but each new chapter focuses on topics : I never teach them �the Present Simple �, but : � I can speak about my routine �.
My lessons are never grammar-based, & all the grammar exercises deal with the same topic. When I introduce the Passive for instance , I usually have them speak/write about films. ( The movie is set... was directed by...etc) ....Just a few examples ;o)
BTW, The English language has more words than French!! ( twice more!) |

I see... Well, it must be really different when you teach just one or two students! I hope people here will be more helpful!! ( My �least - crowded � class has 22 kids... So, games are easy to use..)
Let �s wait for useful tips!
Hugs from rainy France,
