I learned What criteria we need to consider when selecting vocabulary.
When selecting vocabulary to teach, we need to consider the following:
- Appropriateness to the students
- Appropriateness to the task or lesson
- Frequency of use and coverage
- teachability
I also learned What a student needs to know about a vocabulary item? Give examples to clarify your ideas.
Meaning – what the word means
Use – how and when it is appropriate to use the word
Pronunciation – how the word is pronounced correctly
Ex: Students need to know that the placing of stress in a word can affect its meaning (REcord – noun; reCORD – verb)
Grammar – where it belongs
Spelling – how the word is written
Ex: Students need to understand that some words are spelled differently in American English and British English (color- AE; colour-BRE).
Interaction – how it relates to other words
