Our friendships not only tell a lot about who we are --- they make us who we are. The friendship poem above says it all. You will know a friendship is true when it brings out the best in you. Take a look at your friends. Do they bring out the best in you? That might seem like a silly question. We all tend to think, “Of course they bring out the best in me.I wouldn’t be friends with them otherwise.”Section 2: Vocabulary teaching strategyI. The role of vocabulary teachingIn the context of learning English as a foreign language, a learner is forced to be autonomous and independent and make conscious effort to learn vocabulary outside the classroom simply because the exposure to the target language is limited in class. So teachers cannot rely on their students ‘picking up’ lexical items. This makes explicit vocabulary teaching necessary. However, vocabulary is notoriously difficult if not impossible to teach because of the complexity of its linguistic, semantic and psycho-cognitive aspectsII. Best approachThere are no universally useful strategies and they contribute to vocabulary learning in different ways. Students use a number of strategies, often simultaneously. The efficiency of vocabulary learning depends on how students combine individual strategies. If students combine and employ individual strategies from different groups they will be more successful in developing the target language lexicon. Thus, the ideal combination would be that of strategies from all four groups.The teacher should create activities and tasks (to be done both in and outside class) to help students to build their vocabulary and develop strategies to learn the vocabulary on their own. Students experiment and evaluate and then decide which to adopt or reject since strategies are not int ended to be prescriptive.III. Practical activitiesHere is a selection of practical activities that direct learners towards using strategies of vocabulary learning.1. The useful alphabet (self-initiated independent learning)Each student gets a letter and has to find 5, 10 or 15 words he or she thinkswould be useful for him or her. He or she then report to the class, perhapsas a mingle activity, using word cards (on one side they write the letter,on the other the information on the word - spelling, pronunciation, definition).2. Word bag (formal practice)This is to get your students to write down new words they hear in class. At the beginning of the term/course, divide students into groups of about 5 and give each group a number (e.g. 1-6). At the beginning of each class, give each group about 10 cards on which they write the number of their group and the new words they hear in class. At the end of each class, they put their cards into the “word bag” and every 2 weeks you check whether they still know those words and which group has the most cards. In the end there are two winners: the group that has the most cards, and the one that knows more words.3. Especially for you (Functional practice)The teacher prepares a list of words. Each student gets one word, which is prepared especially for him or her. The trick is that each student gets a word whose initial letter is the same as the initial of the student’s first name, e.g. Linda gets listless. Each student must look it up in the dictionary during the class and after a few minutes report to the class. E.g. “My name is Linda and I’m listless. That means that I am ... (definition)...”. For homework students can do the same using their surname.4. Word tour (memorizing)Instructions for your students: Think of a town or city you know well. Imagine that you a re organizing a sightseeing tour. Think of 5 places you would include on your tour and write down the order in which the tourists would visit them. Learn your tour off by heart so that you can picture it in your mind. Whenever you have 5 new English words to learn, imagine these words are the tourists on your tour and picture the words in the places on your tour like this.Tour: Trafalgar Square; Buckingham Palace; Houses of Parliament; Westminster Abbey; Downing Street. Words to learn: apron, dustpan, vacuum cleaner, feather duster, broom. Imagine Nelson on his column in Trafalgar Square wearing an apron, the queen brushing the floor in Buckingham Palace and using a dustpan...Section 3: Words and expressions from Unit 1 Friendshipadd v.1. put something with something else or with a group of other things: Do you want to add your name to the list? 2. to put two or more numbers together in order to calculate the total: Add 6 and 6 to make 12. 3.to increase the number: The sales tax adds 15% to the price of clothes. 4. to say some more that is related to what has already been said: That’s all I want to say.
