This book will help you develop the vocabulary component of your language teaching program with more than 100 activities organized to reflect the major elements of a second language course. Activities help you decide which vocabulary to present when, how to create effective lexical sets, how to present old material in new ways, how to extend knowledge of the meaning of words, how to help learners become independent of the classroom and specially prepared tests, and how to ensure that learners can access and use the vocabulary they know.

English as a Second Language

TESOL

This book is written for teachers of young children aged from 5 to 12 years in primary schools who want to support students' English vocabulary. Most of these children will be native speakers of English, although the increasing cultural and linguistic diversity of our communities suggests a significant number will be from homes where other languages are used dominantly, or at least interwoven with English. 'Knowing your learners' should underpin teachers' pedagogical decisions and the pathways of learning followed in the classroom. When learners are not native speakers of English--in the strict sense of using English as the only or dominant language in the family--this needs to be taken account of in approaches to develop learners' vocabulary knowledge. The book draws strongly on research, but it is written in a non-academic way so that teachers are given clear, direct advice on teaching vocabulary. Each chapter ends with a discussion of relevant and useful research so that teachers can read more deeply on topics that interest them. This book contains many resources for teachers, such as a Picture Vocabulary Size Test, ready-to-use activities for word consciousness-raising, and information about word parts
