Hello everyone,
The topic I have chosen to write about is "Teaching vocabulary through technology".
There are some aspects that we teachers should know when teaching new vocabulary.
1. To know methods that will be used.
There are a lot of methods actually. When I teach new vocabulary to my students I use total physical response method, communicative and grammar translation method.
Total Physical Response method means acting words. I.e. teaching new words such walk, read etc through acting.
Secondly, communicative method is useful when practicing these new words. Students need to listen how these words are pronounced and than repeat each word.
Thirdly, grammar translation method is as important as other methods when you need to translate words into Albanian.
2. To know how to use technology in the class, especially when teaching new vocabulary.
- Technology is as important as these methods. We should combine them together. We may start the lesson with the presentation of the topic through pictures, videos or songs.
You may use them even later on. An advantage of technology is that through online exercises we know how much our student have understood the lesson. At the end of the lesson, we may use these online exercises. They are like games and that' s why students like them very much. You may use even other exercises such as listen to the song and underline the verbs. Than you explain them the past tense of the verbs.
There are a lot of ways a teacher might use to make the lesson interesting.
The secret stands on the fact that you should know how to use these methods combined with technology.
Always remember that to the world you may be just a teacher but to your students you are a hero!
