Unit 1: Presenting vocabulary

       Presenting new vocabulary involves: showing the form of the word(how it is pronounced and spelt); showing the meaning of the word clearly; giving students a chance to hear how the word is used.

       Some ways of showing the meaning of a word:

       1. Using visuals:

        — Real objects: things in the classroom, things you can bring into the classroom, yourself and your students.
        —  Pictures: blackboard drawings, pictures from magazines, pictures you have drawn yourself before the lesson.
        —  Actions, mime, facial expressions.

       2. Giving examples to make the meaning clear.

       3. Using the students?own language: This is often the easiest and clearest way to show the meaning of a word; but give an example in English first so that students can hear how the  word is used.

       Some ways of involving the class and checking that they understand:
        —  Instead of giving a direct translation of a word, give an example and then let the class guess what the word means.
        —  Use the word in simple questions. This gives the class a chance to hear the word in context and react to it.

       一、如何讲词汇

       讲解新词包含三方面内容：给出词形(包括发音，拼写)；指出词义；让学生们有机会听到这个词是如何运用的。

       讲解词意的一些方法：

       1. 使用直观教具：

        ——实物：教室的物品、教师能带到课堂上的物品、教师及学生。
        ——图画：黑板画，杂志上的图片，在课前教师自己画的图画。
        ——动作，模仿，面部表情。

       2.举例以使词意清晰。

       3.使用学生自己的语言：

       这常是讲解词意最容易、最清楚的方法，但首先要用英语举例以使学生能够听到这个词如何运用。调动全班参与并查验学生是否理解的方法：

        —— 不要直接给出一个词的释义，而应先给出一个实例，然后再让全班猜这个词的词义。
        —— 将此词用于简单问句中，以使全班能够在前后文中听到此词并做出反应。
