Better vocabulary outcomes

In this practical, classroom-oriented talk, we’ll be exploring what is — and what isn’t — useful for teachers to do when tackling new vocabulary in the classroom. We’ll be looking at what we do when go through answers to vocabulary exercises — and how we can do it better; we’ll be considering the importance of boardwork – and why some boardwork is better than others; we’ll discuss how we can raise students’ awareness both of the importance of vocabulary and of its true nature; there will be a brief discussion of practice and revision — and finally, we’ll look at how better vocabulary teaching can also mean a heightened focus on grammar!

Teaching grammar lexically

Given its name, it is perhaps logical to assume that a lexical approach to language teaching is more interested in vocabulary than grammar. In reality, though, it means a far more constant and thorough coverage of grammar than many more traditional approaches. In this talk I’ll be considering what teaching grammar lexically might involve — and exploring why it’s better!

- the problems of a trad structures plus words approach for the learning of both grammar and vocabulary

- the lexical limits of much grammar (we got talking in my MA course about the minute number if verbs that colligate with the future continuous yesterday!)

- the importance of grammar as Lexis particularly at lower levels

- co-text and contexts of use

- reformulation

- teaching lexis in context with more grammar
