1. Current ways of teaching vocabulary

Page 8: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

2. Some reflections on the ways

(1) Two things in common:

- Words are separated from the text.

- Only pronunciation and meaning or definition are taught.

Page 9: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

2. Some reflections on the ways

(2) The result:- Difficulty in comprehension

- Difficulty in using the language

- Lack in productive ability

- Lack interest in learning

- Higher grades but weaker ability

Page 10: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

I suspect him of having stolen the car.

I doubt his honesty.

Do you think he can keep up with other students?

He must work harder to catch up with other students.

The result:- Difficulty in comprehension

Page 11: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

The result:- Difficulty in comprehension

The new teacher is very slow to adapt to the rules of the school.

He’s always ready to adopt any new methods of teaching.

He was very careful in whatever he did lest something unfavorable should be written into his records. (Comp. otherwise)

Page 12: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

The result:- Difficulty in comprehension

The head office has been transferred from Beijing to Shanghai.

The new furniture transformed the room.

I used to be shy and timid, but the Cultural Revolution transformed me completely.

Page 13: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

The result:- Difficulty in comprehension

SARS is transmitted very quickly.

Goods are transported to many European countries by sea.

Page 14: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

There is not much point in persuading him since he has already made up his mind to go there.

If you don’t like to play tennis, you may just as well stay at home.

His songs are very popular among people who regard him as superior to other musicians.

The result:- Difficulty in using the language

Page 15: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

The result:- Lack in productive ability

“If spelling becomes the only focal point of the teachers’ interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe” ----- he will tend to write words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language.”

Page 16: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

The result:- Higher grades but weaker ability

“This is now also one of the major problems with university students. Those who have passed Cet-6 failed to use the language as skillfully as expected.”

Page 17: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

1. Active and passive vocabulary:

Words already learned and words just to be recognized ---- frequency

e.g. Former requirement (Junior Books)

Page 33: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

2. In context:“The ignoring of contexts in any act of interpretation is at best a stupid practice. At its worst, it can be a vicious practice.” “No word ever has exactly the same meaning twice.”

By S. I. HayakawaI believe in you. I believe in democracy. I believe in Santa Claus.

e.g. I have confidence

in you.

I accept the principles implied

by the term democracy.I believe Santa Claus exists.

Page 34: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

Ambiguity is often caused by the lack of context.

- Can you play the piano?

- What are you laughing at?

- She missed it.

- It’s a long day. You must be feeling very tired.

Page 35: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

Ambiguity is often caused by the lack of context.

- Could you tell me when we get to the Bell Tower?

- A: Is the coffee sugared? B: Does it taste as if it were?

Page 36: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

*** “People in the course of argument very frequently complain about words meaning different things to different people. In stead of complaining, they should accept such differences as a matter of course.”

S. I. Hayakawa:

Page 37: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

S. I. Hayakawa:

*** “Such an impasse is avoided when we start with a new premise altogether --- one of the premises upon which modern linguistic thought is based: namely, that no word ever has exactly the same meaning twice.”

Page 38: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

S. I. Hayakawa:

*** “To insist dogmatically that we know what a word means in advance of its utterance is nonsense. All we can know in advance is approximately what it will mean.”

Page 39: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

S. I. Hayakawa:

*** “An examination of the verbal context of an utterance… directs us to the intensional meanings; an examination of the physical context directs us to the extensional meanings.”

Page 40: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

S. I. Hayakawa:

*** “In the study of history or of cultures other than our own, contexts take on special importance….When it comes to very big subjects, the range of contexts to be examined --- verbal, physical, social, and historical --- may become very large indeed.”

Page 41: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

3. Interaction with words:

Do something with the words ----- task-based learning, a “deep experience”

e.g. “Find out your partner’s secret”

“The most valuable thing”

Page 42: Developing Teaching Skills : Suggested Ways of Teaching Vocabulary (英语课堂技能训练 —— 词汇教学) 张 则 玫

4. Discovery techniques:

Let SS work out the rules by themselves, and then make judgment by the rules ----- inductive thinking and deductive thinking

e.g. Subjunctive mood
