- PICTURE IT
Use picture of new vocabulary words to introduce them to your students. You may choose to use flash cards, magazine imagines, online pictures, picture dictionaries or photographs when helping your students picture new words.
- KEEP IT REAL
Using real objects to introduce new vocabulary will aid your students in remembering the new words. It will also give your kinesthetic learners a chance to make a physical connection with a lexical concept. Show your class an object, say the word, write it on the board, and then pass the object around and have each of your students say the word out loud.
- TELL IT LIKE IT IS
Before introducing a new vocabulary word, describe the scene which in which it would be used. Then, rephrase the scene using the new vocabulary word. “I ate too much food. I overate” This will help build connections between English words and teach synonyms without even trying.
- SING IT LOUD
Make up original songs to introduce new vocabulary. It will not only aid certain learning types, but it will also bring an element of fun into your classroom. Simply use a simple, familiar tune and make up your own lyrics using the vocabulary you are teaching your students.
