The module, exercises and quizzez were quite challenging. The criteria to choose lexis to teach were really useful, I followed these principles but I will pay more attention to them in the future. Analyzing different types of lexis practice activities will help me to make my lessons more engaging for students.
Yess i agree. the various practice activities will also help me make the lesson more interesting.
I enjoyed this module, although I found it quite challenging in a couple of areas, it really made me think about how I teach new language in other subjects like Science too. I like the lesson ideas as they can be differentiated for different ages/abilities/interests easily.
I seriously like this module and I enjoyed it, but it was challenging.
That not withstanding I know one does not have to choose so may new words to teach else the students will not be able to grasp all the words and I understood that without lexis communication is meaningless in fact the whole module was great.Yes I do agree with that too
I’ve liked so much this module, I’ve learned lots of interesting and useful ways to teach lexis. As you know I’m not an English teacher, but a subject teacher and this course helps me becoming a support for my students in teaching the language in the best way. I can say that many English colleagues need to refresh their methodology, inevitably, I observe how they teach lexis and new words, now I could give my contribution in supporting my students.
I can’t but agree more with you ;-)! Our teaching approach must be updated, this module can definitely help ;-)!
I found it interesting, too.
Cheers!I teach other language different to English, learning all this content has helped me a lot, it is very useful in general terms in the education context.
This module was clear and the various tasks made it simple to understand. I know now that i should always teach the lexis in the context in which it has been presented and the grammar lesson approaches can be used to teach lexis, and also Teaching lexis is different from pre-teaching lexis in skills lessons
Yes, I agree with you about the lexis should always be taught in the context in which it has been presented.
I found this module quite challenging with lots of skills and strategies. I’ve got to know what shlould I identify while planning a lexis lesson. What the tools to convery the meaning of lexis may be. How to check the form of lexis. How to give the pronunciation in the proper way.
I am sure all these skills will be very useful on my classes.I found the Module extremely interesting. Some of the skills strategies I already knew and applied with my students, but I was not familiar with the names. However, it is true that it is important to have a good criteria to select them and use them properly in the classroom. Adiotionally, it´s important to get first familiar with them in order to use the effectively. .
