Which of the following steps can be followed while using techniques to introduce new vocabulary? I. Ask the class to repeat, check pronunciation and say the word again II. Ask individual pupils to repeat the word and then ask the whole class again Correct Answer Both I and II
The basic goals of teaching a new language include the growth of their pupils' vocabulary. They will also acknowledge that learning vocabulary is a rather more complex process than it might first appear. To know a word in a target language means the ability to:
- recognise it in its spoken or written form
- recall it whenever needed
- pronounce it while speaking
- in an acceptable manner
- use it in the appropriate grammatical form
- spell it correctly while writing and use it at the appropriate level of formality while speaking and writing.
It can be improved by asking the class to repeat, check pronunciation and say the word again, asking individual pupils to repeat the word and then ask the whole class again, using various objects so that student remember their name, referring to the illustration in the textbook, reading new and different text, guessing from the context, sorting, using synonyms and antonyms, knowing the etymology of a word.
Hence, we conclude that both techniques can be used to introduce new vocabulary.
