coffee?…No? Well, how do we ask a question with ‘will’?…Good!…’Would’ works in the same way…
6. Help students to understand the communicative importance of grammar Ask students to choose between two different communicative outcomes for one piece of language. This can be done by getting students to follow certain instructions in class. Treats can be used as a tangible reward for linking grammar to a communicative effect. Sample teacher language:
Carlos, please take these chocolates…Ok, now go to Lucia and Mohamed…now give him a chocolate…no, give him a chocolate…Good!…Now go to Anna and Markus, and give her a chocolate…Good!…And now go to Patrizia and Yuko, and give them the last chocolate…well done, Carlos!…And now here's a chocolate for you, Carlos!
7. Help students to understand the importance of grammatical accuracy
Discuss with your students the importance of making a good impression with some formal correspondence, e.g. a job application. Encourage them to edit 'roughly-tuned’ texts. Sample teacher language:
…so you know that, sometimes, it’s important to write very accurately (for example, like you said, if you’re applying for a job here in Britain)…I want you now to look at this text…You can understand what the writer means, but there are some mistakes which will leave a bad impression on the reader…see if you can find the mistakes.
7.Homework:
1. What is the role of grammar in ELT?
2. What is deductive method of teaching grammar? What is inductive method of teaching grammar? 3. Discuss the difference between controlled practice and meaningful practice? What roles do they
play in language learning?
4. Choose a lesson from a suitable textbook, which introduces a major new structure. How are you
going to introduce the new structure? Can you think of situations or examples to show how the structure is used?
5. Choose a grammar practice activity from the coursebook. Plan a presentation of the activity in the
next class.
8.Self-assessment:
Because students are not familiar with the English Teaching plan, although it is very easy to help Ss understand it. But They acturally don't know how to plan lessons well. It requires T
explain it in details with the help of clare illustration and examples by using real examples.To get students practice more and experience . Is the above rocket science? No. But it’s surprising how well-intentioned teachers can make learning grammar a miserable experience for their students. After a poorly taught grammar-focus lesson, students will come away feeling blinded by science, cheated, and disempowered. After a well taught grammar-focus lesson, students will come away feeling not only both proud and confident, but they will also know that they have learned some new item of language that they can genuinely use for their own purposes.
Unit 7 Teaching Vocabulary

2.Teaching Content:
1) Vocabulary and vocabulary building 2) Presenting new words 3) Consolidating vocabulary
4) Developing vocabulary building strategies 5) Conclusion
3. Teaching Hours:: 2 periods 4. Teaching materials:
1)Textbook 2)Handout 3)CAI
4)Falsh charts
5.Teaching Methods:
1) Lecture ( Computer-aided Instruction) 2)Demonstration
3) Students Practice
6.Teaching Procedures:
1) Introduction
With hundreds of thousands of words in the English language, teaching vocabulary can seem like a very daunting prospect. Remember though that the average native speaker uses around only five thousand words in everyday speech. Moreover, your students won't need to produce every word they learn, some they will just need to recognize. Selecting what to teach, based on frequency and usefulness to the needs of your particular students is therefore essential. Once you have chosen what to teach, the next important steps are to consider what students need to know about the items, and how you can teach them.
2) What a student may need to know about an item
?
What it means
It is vital to get across the meaning of the item clearly and to ensure that your students have understood correctly with checking questions.
? The form
Studens need to know if it is a verb/a noun/an adjective etc to be able to use it effectively.
? How it is pronounced
This can be particularly problematic for learners of English because there is often no clear relation between how a word is written and how it is pronounced. It is very important to use the phonemic script in such cases so the sts have a clear written record of the pronunciation. Don't forget also to drill words that you think will cause pronunciation problems for your students and highlight the word stresses.
? How it is spelt
This is always difficult in English for the reason mentioned above. Remember to clarify the pronunciation before showing the written form.
?
If it follows any unpredictable grammatical patterns
For example, man-men / information (uncountable) and if the word is followed by a particular preposition (e.g. depend on )
? The connotations that the item may have
Bachelor is a neutral/positive word whereas spinster conjures a more negative image.
? The situations when the word is or is not used
Is it formal/neutral/informal?For example, spectacles/glasses/specs. Is it used mainly in speech or in writing? To sum up is usually written whereas mind you is spoken. Is it outdated? Wireless instead of radio.
? How the word is related to others
For example, synonyms, antonyms, lexical sets
? Collocation or the way that words occur together
You describe things 'in great detail' not 'in big detail' and to ask a question you 'raise your hand' you don't 'lift your hand'. It is important to highlight this to students to prevent mistakes in usage later.
? What the affixes (the prefixes and suffixes) may indicate about the meaning
For example, substandard sub meaning under. This is particularly useful at a higher level.
Which of these areas you choose to highlight will depend on the item you are teaching and the level of your students. Now it's time to think about how we can get the meaning across.
3) Ways to present vocabulary
There are lots of ways of getting across the meaning of a lexical item.
?
Illustration
This is very useful for more concrete words (dog, rain, tall) and for visual learners. It has its limits though, not all items can be drawn.
? Mime
This lends itself particularly well to action verbs and it can be fun and memorable.
? Synonyms/Antonyms/Gradable items
Using the words a students already knows can be effective for getting meaning across.
? Definition
Make sure that it is clear (maybe check in a learner dictionary before the lesson if you are not confident). Remember to ask questions to check they have understood properly.
? Translation
If you know the students' L1, then it is fast and efficient. Remember that not every word has a direct translation..
? Context
Think of a clear context when the word is used and either describe it to the students or give them example sentences to clarify meaning further.
Again which you choose will depend on the item you are presenting. Some are more suitable for particular words. Often a combination of techniques can be both helpful and memorable
4) Alternative ways of teaching vocabulary
?
Give your students a few items of vocabulary and tell them to find the meaning, pronunciation and write an example sentenced with the word in. They can then teach each other in groups.
? ?
Prepare worksheets and ask your students to match words to definitions.
Ask students to classify a group of words into different categories. For example, a list of transport words into air/sea/land.
? Ask students to find new vocabulary from reading homework and teach the other students in the class.
5) Other things to consider
?
Review the vocabulary you teach through a game or activity and encourage your students to do the same at home
? Encourage autonomy in your learners. Tell them to read, watch films, listen to songs etc and note the useful words
? Have a section of your board for vocabulary items that come up as you are teaching. Use different colours for the word / the phonemics / the prepositions / the part of speech
? It is a good idea to teach/learn words with associated meanings together
