Introducing new vocabulary to young learners

[@RachelB.BookReferences]

I see a lot of hate comments here, but this is similar to how we teach young native speakers English. We point at things and repeat the words a lot! The reality is that it's impossible to recreate a 24/7, native speaking, home environment for our students, and this is a good and effective way to introduce and review vocabulary. She never said this is the only activity she ever uses to teach vocabulary!

Exactly. Some people don’t get the concept and act like they are the only ones who know.

This is a traditional way of teaching by repeating words. In recent years, we tend to focus more on making use of the words in real life situations and mentioning as many scenarios in which we use the word to make sure that the student has a broader perspective of it. This way, we are investing in the student's long term knowledge as the brain works by connecting what we know with what we don't know. Not just present and repeat. There's no connection there.

How do you teach new vocabulary?

[@abdelghaniabdelghani1262]

I wonder if u could give us examples please

[@lightworker6298]

​@@Sss-qz1cbdrilling really works, scientifically proven.

[@norsaidelhankari231]

This is a tradional way of teaching.

[@lizakhan3509]

Can you give us example bcz, i really wanna know

[@whgpqls2330]

I agree with some of the comments that this method is a bit mechanical, but bear in mind that the instructor here is just INTRODUCING the vocab to the students. She can always move onto more complex explanations/activities in later steps, although I personaly think young learners are better off practicing with drill exercises (especially if their English isn’t that good) as presenting them with other scenarios/sentences is likely to be far too advanced for their level.

I have been teaching LET'S GO series for more than 4 years and I have mastered how to teach on my own, it sucked first but now it is much easier for me. I can teach online and offline, doesnt matter, I can recite the structures and lesson objectives even when I sleep.

[@HoangLeDung]

😂😂😂

[@c.est_moi_f]

Me too im teaching LET'S GO 1 , can you please give me some tips 🥲

[@ayeletelkayam8660]

I want to say that I tried this activity in class, and it went so good!! It is a febilios idea to teach vocabulary so thank you!!!!!

[@someone55995]

I do use flashcards in my teaching too. The kids love watching video lectures and repeating words.

[@alexanderhuamantomapumalli1274]

I think it's a traditional form to learn English.

[@Jasmine_Namwijit]

Excellent. Thank you so much. I use it to supervise some teachers in my area.

[@paolapando4037]

Drills are not widely used in ELT. Much better if you present words or concepts in context and invite your students to understand them. They will keep them in mind and it will be easier to use them independently in other contexts. I think this is exactly what we don't want our teachers to do.

I would put double likes here if I could .

[@vincentgordon7021]

I been to ESL classrooms where everything in the room is labeled. 4x5 index cards taped over every object. desk, door, blackboard, etc.

[@phuongdung4621]

I noticed that learners in the classroom are very good at English already =)))

[@saravananneother4868]

Note that this was 11 years ago.

[@raquelsepulveda1089]

Thank you this was very helpful

[@Envy195]

thank you ma'am ❤

[@uyennguyen-yi1du]

I think it' better to use this way to review the words than to introduce new words. And in some real classes, the students are not good at english enough to do it, in this video just a demo class with good students

[@chowhanmostafabulbul9417]

Thank you so much.

[@armohammad3146]

Thank you

[@Faisal80]

Keep up the spirit teacher

[@CamiCL9]

I don't really think it's a good tip for teaching vocab. I see it as a way in which student has to repeat so many times but problably student is going to forget that in a couple of days. (this is just my opinion)

[@Yeseptiany77]

agreee with you

[@joszyyszka]

it's introduction not teaching new vocab.

[@ikramkem7137]

kmilo CL I agree. It's rather mechanical.

[@josec.6504]

Camilo Cardona Lozano How would you teach it?

[@brenoholanda9578]

that's why we have review every class

[@XimenaMiss]

It works.

[@priscilaamazing]

I like it. That's nice. Thanks from a Brazilian teacher.

[@may25gemini]

thanks from a Vietnamese teacher

[@IK121266]

I don't think that this is a fun or effective way to introduce new vocab. The teacher should speak very clearly and articulate very well. There is no point in increasing the speed either. Are we trying to confuse young learners or enlighten them?

[@josec.6504]

IK121266 How would you teach it? What's your method?

[@ese555]

Great

[@تربيةأونلاين-ي5ف]

Good

[@kaoruusui6646]

Thank you very much for sharing the tips!!

[@linhtay777]

Wowww! How amazing this method is!! I 'll have to try it now. Thanks for your sharinggggg...

[@TicklingToddlers]

nice video, we really like it.

[@megank6703]

The Let's Go books are the WORST books I have ever had to use while teaching esl. All of the worksheets are completely useless as it required 5 and 6 year olds to be able to read and understand long sentences in English!

[@sribalajitourist4215]

Superb

Behaviourism.

[@strivestrive9176]

And what about the verbs? Adverbs? Adjectives?

[@haneensaad5964]

not very effective, they will not be able to use these words in sentences

[@lisaklozenberg6408]

There's no proper pronunciation, it's too fast and some obvious phonetics are missing due to the American/Chinese dialect/accent. I think quite honestly that English vocabulary should be delivered within full, short, contextual sentences to any age group, depending on CEFRL testing, and using 'received pronunciation', which American accented teachers can easily mimic.

[@قناةالمجتهد-ق8ظ]

It is not a good idea because it's boring

[@JustinRichards]

Its a Chinese technique of learning vocabulary and it is incredibly ineffective.

[@zhangnancy3969]

4injustwetrust why you link it to Chinese
