Steps for Presenting Vocabulary

Eliciting & Illustrating the meaning of the new word (by using # techniques)

Modeling/Presenting the item (written/spoken) Letting Ss repeat chorally Asking some Ss to repeat it Correcting pronunciation (if happening) Checking L1’s equivalent Checking pronunciation (stress pattern) Checking spelling

Page 20: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

1. Bingo!

Aim: to get Ss to practice listening to new words & match sounds with spelling

Getting Ss to brainstorm a list of 10­15 new words & putting them on the board

Ss choose 5 words to copy them in their books Reading out the words in any order Each time the student has one of the words the teacher 

reads, s/he puts a tick next to that word. The first student to tick all five words shouts “Bingo!”

Page 21: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

2. Guess the picture

Aim: to get a lot of Ss to practice saying the new words in a meaningful way

Make A4 pictures of new words you are going to teach Put the pictures in a file Get Ss to come to the front & choose one of the pictures Make sure nobody else can see which picture has been chosen Get the rest of the class to guess which picture it is Ss ask, “Is it a…?”  The 1st student to guess the picture correctly comes up to the 

front, chooses a new picture & the game continues.

Page 22: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

3. Jumbled words

Aim: to get Ss to practice spelling new words The teacher writes 5 or 6 words with jumbled letters on the 

board & tell Ss what the topic is. Ss write the words correctly in their books Ss come to the board to write the correct words there to see if 

everyone agrees.

Example: Topic SCHOOL SUBJECTS

HSICPSY=                     THAMS=LYGIOBO=                     TYHOSIY=RUTELARITE=

 

Page 23: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

4. Matching

Aim: To get Ss to match the new vocabulary with definitions, translations of pictures. To save time pre­teaching

Write the new words in a list on the left side on the board Write definitions, translations or draw pictures, on the right side 

of the board Get Ss to come up the board & match items in the left side list 

with item in the right side list by drawing a line between them 4 or 5 Ss can work at the board at the same time Check answers by asking the class, “Do you agree?”    

Page 24: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

 5.Networks 

Aim: to get Ss to revise lexical sets; to put words from different lessons into one context so Ss remember them better

Write the network like in the example on the board and put some more words below it.

Don’t use just concrete nouns­remember to include some verbs

Get the Ss to put the given words in the appropriate circles

Ss fill in the remaining empty circles with their own words.

Page 25: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

6. Noughts & Crosses

Aim: to get Ss to put new vocabulary in a sentence The teacher puts a grid on the board with 9 words in it. Ss work in pairs. ONE of the Ss copies the grid in his/her book. One student is “noughts” (‘O’), and the other is ‘crosses’ (‘X’) One student starts. S/he chooses a word & makes a sentence 

with it. If the sentence is correct, s/he puts her mark (“O” or “X”) in that square.

The 1st student to get three­in­a –row (across, down or diagonally) wins.  

Page 26: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

7. OrderingAim: to get Ss to recognize the pronunciation of new 

words & give them listening practice 

Teach the new words & write them on the board in the wrong order.

Get Ss to copy the words in their books Read or tell the story with the new words in it. Get Ss 

to put the words in the correct order by numbering them.

Page 27: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

8. Rub out & rememberAim: to help Ss memorize new words Present or elicit the new vocabulary & build up a list on the 

board After each word put the Vietnamese translation Get the trainees to copy into their books & ask them to close 

their books. Rub out the new word once at a time Each time you rub out a word in English, point to the 

Vietnamese & ask, ‘What’s this in English?’  When all the English words are rubbed out, go through the 

Vietnamese list and get the trainees to call out the English word  

Page 28: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

9. Slap the boardAim: to get Ss to recognize new words through listening Ask 3 or 4 Ss to be observer & ask then to follow your steps & say why 

it is a useful technique  Put the new words all over the board – not in a list. If you want to check understanding, put the Vietnamese translation of 

the new words or pictures on the board Call out one of the new words with a loud voice.  The two Ss must run forward & slap the word on the board. The one who slaps the correct word first is the winner If you are playing in teams, the winning team gets a mark. Then ask 2 more Ss to come forward

10.What & Where Aim: to help Ss to memorize new vocabulary or to revise 

vocabulary Follow the same procedure as for RUB & REMEMBER & 

SLAP THE BOARD (i.e. choose observers.) Elicit words to do with the classroom from the Ss As the Ss give you the word, write it on the board inside a 

circle. Do not write the words in a list. When all the words are on the board, rub out one of the 

words but do not rub out the circles.

Page 30: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

10.What & Where (con.) Get the Ss to repeat the word including the rubbed –

out word by pointing  Rub out another word but leave the circle. Point to the words or empty circles. The Ss read or remember the words Continue until all the circles are empty. The Ss now have to remember all the words Ask the Ss (6 or 8 at a time) to come to the board & fill 

in the circles with the correct words.   

Page 31: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

11. Word squareAim: to get Ss to recognize the spelling of new words The teacher writes the word  square on the board or 

make a poster of it. The teacher tells the Ss what the topic is and how 

many hidden words there are. The Ss come to the board & circle any words they can see. 

Page 32: Teaching Vocabularyimgs.khuyenmai.zing.vn/.../tieng-anh-pho-thong/teaching_vocabulary_6164.pdf · Teaching Vocabulary What to Teach About an Item Techniques for Eliciting New Vocabulary

12. WordstormAim: to get Ss to put new word into a sentence Get Ss to work in pairs & brainstorm all the words they know 

on a topic, e.g. ’vegetable’ Student A thinks of a word & tells student B. Both Ss write down the word. Student B thinks of another word, tells student A & both write 

it down. When they have thought of all words they can, put two pairs 

together to share their lists. One pair reads to the other pair who ticks off the same words 

or adds any new words. The group with the most word is the winner
