10. Use words learners already know to teach them similar words. Example:
Learners read a text and have to find the words in the text which mean the following:
very thin identical short and fat tiny very large crying
11. Use well-known English song titles, books or people. Example:
When introducing new words, the teacher reminds learners of famous or familiar places where they might have come across the words before, for example in film titles or songs or pop groups.
Examples:
wiggle pop song with chorus ‘Wiggle, wiggle’
jungle Jungle Book rolling The Rolling Stones
12. Give examples of words you want to introduce. Example:
The teacher wants to introduce the word fruit. She explains that you can eat fruit and there are various kinds: apples, bananas, peaches, oranges, etc. (The class knows the words for some individual fruits already). She asks the learners for more examples of fruit.
