● 摘要:
Without any vocabulary, you can say nothing. Vocabulary is the starting point of language learning and with over 1 million words in the English language, word acquisition continues throughout a student’s life. This presentation will focus on the best ways to aid children’s memorization of words and spelling through games, mindmaps, picture dictionaries, story-telling and other activities. You no more need flashcards to teach vocabulary! Examples will be taken from Macmillan Education’s new key title Take Shape which has a systematic approach to presenting and practicing vocabulary.
