Penny Ur - Teaching Vocabulary: some insights from the research
-Vocabulary is essencial for proficiency
-Teaching vocabulary means teaching words, lexical chunks, phrasal expressions and colocations
-How much of a reading text do you need to know? 95% - 98% (less for informal texts)
-People learn unrelated items better
-Reading teaches new words very slowly
-Inferencing is not reliable and does not improve learning
-Translation is a useful strategy in teaching vocabulary
-Review a new item: At least ten times
-1/3 of classroom time should be devoted to teaching vocabulary
Jack Richards - Creativity in the Language Classroom
-Give verbs in the present/past to the students and they write a story using them
-Give the beginning and the end of a story to the students, they write the middle
-Give pictures to the students and they write phrases about them in the present/past
I got late there, so I missed Eric Baber's talk. Sorry! =x
