[@christinabas6462]

As a bilingual person from childhood, I am in full agreement with every single one of your tips. Thank you.

[@nunyabiz334]

This is without doubt the most enjoyable ESL I've ever seen. So tired of cheesy or incorrect ESL teaching/tips videos. Just subscribed. Very clear and precise, this man......... AND he has cute cozy lights in his kitchen!

[@asmaaelesawey9401]

Your pronouncation is very clear because Iam not a native speaker and I would to be an English teacher. My best regards.

[@anasbenhaddou7827]

I like them all. My most take away from this video is that I can actually use "delayed" translation time to time as long as they've worked up the meaning in their minds

[@Amirhossein8844]

Like your background a lot!

[@jackpilcher6868]

Hey Martin. Your videos have been really helpful in me recently passing my CELTA. Thanks so much!

[@anthonybroadhurst6956]

All your tips are great. The use of collocations and phrases is the best as it involves the student using their imagination and in so doing expands their thinking to real situations they have been in. This I hope aids their learning greatly.

[@paulyoung562]

i adore how methodically your kitchen is organized...

[@TEFLLemon]

Hey Martin, this is Stuart here from TEFL Lemon. Great video! I'm going to be including a link to your video on our unit on Teaching Vocabulary on our TESOL course. Really clear, with good advice!

[@ELTExperiences]

Cool, thanks! Glad that it was of use. 😊

[@1806svetlana]

SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL! THANK YOU.

[@ELTExperiences]

You are so welcome!

[@earlychildhoodteaching4659]

I love your way of talking and your tips are very useful... me to an English language teacher

[@margaretfan5]

I agreed to it. Learning synonyms can enlarge our vocabulary stock. Or we may find the awkward situation by repeating the same words.

[@fampatrick4989]

Hi Martin, your simple tip of giving context and letting the students guess the translation is very helpful. I will try and discipline myself to do this more often. Also the circles to aid pronunciation is an ingenious idea, much clearer than one line under the stressed syllable. Many thanks!

[@ELTExperiences]

Glad it was helpful! I am by no means the inventor of circles above word stress as I learned this from a colleague. Thank you ever so much for the many comments and I hope all is well with you. Stay safe and happy teaching. 😊

[@TeachNInspireWithSean]

For a specific category of words, I would recommend to use a graphic organizer to help students to retrieve their own prior knowledge and experience.

[@ruhangizalekperova7992]

Hello Martin. I have watched this episode again and revised all the tips again. I would like to move forward from the given line the tip number one. It is really important to teach the word starting with its correct stress and pronunciation as it will solve further ss' problems in listening and comprehension of this word in the native speakers' speech. Correct stress is closely connected with the listening skill teaching and solve half of the problems when you fulfill the gaps in the very beginning.

[@elizabethwang7408]

Thank you so much Martin! I am not a teacher yet, but want to use all of your tips. I will have to answer the question at the end of the video after I have started. Thank you for being very clear.

[@ELTExperiences]

Good luck with your teaching journey and thank you again for your kind words. Stay safe and happy learning.

[@gladysmendozan9238]

[@taiwohassanolokodana4219]

Hi! Thank you Martin, you have done well to take us through the useful tips. Very helpful. I have a little observation. The tip 1 is better described as syllable stressed not word stress. Thank you.

[@Chrystallaki]

Wonderful tips. Thank you for sharing.

[@asmaaelesawey9401]

It's an effective video.

[@benahmedkouider815]

Very good method, thank you.

[@sandralipanga1575]

I realy appreciate. Thanks teacher

[@helengrady3428]

Thanks for this- nice and clear. The thing I neglect in the heat of the moment but will try harder (!) is focusing on stress. Buying an extra coloured whiteboard pen for this today......

[@ELTExperiences]

I am so glad you found the video useful and that you are going to try this out today. I hope it helps your students.

[@margaretfan5]

Teacher Martin, I like your kitchen, nice decor". That's right, "stress" makes sound different. Thanks for the tips.

[@ELTExperiences]

Peace sir, I believe using pictures is such an effective tool to teach vocabulary effectively. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Lahcen Abouazza CTEFL

[@rubyjendek1961]

Tip 3. Teach synonyms. Try to teach words related to the key word. You will help students to better understand connected vocabulary. Tip 4. Use Pictures. It is vital to support students with their learning style. If they are visual learners, you may use visual aids, like flashcards. Tip 5. Guess the translation. Let students try and guess what translation might be. But make sure that you give them that word in a context. It will give students confidence. When they read, they will try to guess the words rather than immediately using their dictionaries. Tip 6. Teach Collocations and Phrases. Teach other connected words. This will help students to use learnt words more often. If you teach the word 'promise', it is better to actually give the verbs which go with that word, so that students know how to use it.

[@ruhangizalekperova7992]

Thanks for tips. They are really helpful. I think they all are impotant. If include as many as possible from them , the teaching new vocabulary will be more successful. Good luck in your useful work!

[@radouanemjahed6666]

Hi,i learnt a lot from the video you share.you mentioned that we need also to teach phrases and collocations as parts of vocabulary.i would like you please to show me some tips to teach collocations because i found difficulties to introduce them to my students.

[@uzbuzbuzbuzb9787]

[@amydoyle7821]

Thank you was so helpful

[@josecarlosmanuel5865]

Interesting 🎉

[@ELTExperiences]

Glad you think so!

[@nargesrahimipour]

I believe that teaching new vocabulary in context is the most important tip and using pictures is not as important as other tips.

[@pauljennings4587]

General you don't teach words with similar meaning together at first. Because they can be confused. Once they know one word well then that is when you teach a similar meaning word. I can remember what book mentions this but I'm pretty sure is by I S P Nation.

[@sallyaly6851]

The background, though ❤❤❤

[@naumees]

the Sixth one is very usefule and interesting

[@HilaryBurtMusic]

Great video Martin. Have learnt a new word too: 'collocation'!

[@ELTExperiences]

So pleased to hear that you learnt a new word. Perhaps a new song should be composed with the title ‘collocations’. 😂

[@conniespencer6161]

Very helpful things thanks , one thing I need your tip of managing time in a class I need your comments how to teach vocabulary effectively in an hour more than 50 words with all your tip If I have to change of the number of vocabulary, how many words are moderate in 60 minutes? Thanks

[@viceharmy]

I understand that this is a video from 4 years ago but hopefully you can read my question. If the words are all part of an article/reading exercise, how do you activate their vocabulary apart from asking students to just give the definition of a list of words from the article? I think somehow word in context is a helpful tip in my scenario. Curious to hear from you

[@elenarozina2086]

Hi, I find context very important when teaching vocab and also collocations help sts actually use the words.

[@hibzhiba1237]

Hi Martin, thank you for the useful tips. I am a novice teacher, have been looking at different teaching methodologies, I am lost!! You have mentioned delayed translation in tip 5, many are against the use of L1 in classrooms. Also would tip 3 be suitable for beginners, teaching more synonymous wouldn't be overwhelming for them! I will be teaching adults beginner level. Plz HELP! I am so confused

[@ELTExperiences]

Hi Hibz. Thank you ever so much for your comment and I’m pleased that you find my videos useful. I recorded an online lesson teaching low level adult learners. I hope you find this helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bF7JaGuYp72kb8k

[@thestraightpath.5036]

Hi, many thanks for providing us with these useful and crucial tips with regards to teaching vocabulary .however I have got a question I always hesitate to ask, how to present a vocabulary lesson by using ESA method and respect all stages and sequence ( Engage, Study and Activate.) I mean what should teacher do in each phase? Let's suggest the topic of asking and giving opinion or crime terminology and jail and related collocations. Thanks in advance

[@ELTExperiences]

This is quite a big topic and I think a future video may hello tackle this question. With regards to engaging learners, it is key for a successful lesson. Thank you for your question and I hope to answer it in a future video.

[@paolaperoni8888]

Hi Martin, how can we help our learners increase their vocabulary? I.e. not only use basic sentences but expand their ideas and use more complex vocab.

[@ruhangizalekperova7992]

May be i will sound very ordinary but only with the help reading you can expand your ideas. No absorbing ideas no creation of them. But this is only my opinion.

[@ELTExperiences]

I believe that repetition and re-evaluating new language for students could help them out with becoming more aware of more complex words and phrases.

[@sallauchafe964]

Using synonyms to teach a vocabulary item is to me important because by so doing one might be killing two birds with a stone

[@mazouzkhadija2861]

I'm a teacher and I think that the best way to teach vocabulary is to use pictures and also games

[@thgdrsgs]

21 yo, SC distinction , HSE waiting for results , I know i need a batchlor's degree, non native speaker ,i want to get into ESL or English teaching , any tips on what certification i could need later or anything rly

[@ELTExperiences]

If you would like to get into teaching English or ESL, I would recommend the CELTA course or the Trinity CertTESOL. These two course will prepare you for teaching English or ESL. You will also meet other likeminded people and you may find further opportunities after the course. Good luck.

Pans and points.

[@stephenmonash821]

Word stress is not that important.. most times never need to know it. Yeah.. present/present. but most words .. you can ignore it.. just complicates things for lower levels. Makes the teacher feel better.. but really in an out quicker than a fart.
