In this Teaching Tips Episode, I look at Nine Ways To Teach Vocabulary for the English classroom. In this video, I attempt to share nine ways (not ten ways) to teach vocabulary in the classroom. The nine ideas include:
- Using Flashcards
- Drawing Pictures on the Whiteboard
- Using Word Families
- Matching Definitions
- Highlighting Wordstress
- Removing Vowels
- Teaching Common Collocations
- Matching Opposite and Related Words
- Playing Language Games
- THERE IS NO TEN!!! (my mistake)
