vocabulary-2

A teacher can communicate with his or her students easily by using common words because common words is always well known by students especially if they are at elementary level and even lower leve.

I think the teacher should not try to teach all common words it should be happen naturally; therefore it can remain permanently in their life maybe they make a connection with their experience or daily life.

I think we should not focus on vocabulary leaning explicitly because it can occur by focusing on reading text.


vocabulary profiling-1

Students can be failed when they come across a not frequent word or high level word because it is difficult to guess what it means. Frequency always primes the lexical access so if a word is frequent easy to remember or guess.

It can may also depend on subject area. I mean, if a student does not know about medicine, s/he could not come up with an idea of what the meanings of word

Sometimes, I also trouble with the unknown word because words that I do not know the meaning are not frequent or the subject is not familiar to me.

In my future teaching life, I can use lextutor. I can create so many activites on the lextutor and also I can make my students join my classes online; therefore, my students will be able to intorduce more broad activities. They may enjoy espacially when they are using ''Wordle'' and ''Concordle''

Vocabulary Profile "CTE319" -DDL-

When I skimmed the text, the top five words almost matched but I liked wordle much more because it is visualizing the most common words colourfully.

It can be usefull for young learners while they are doing their reading assignments. For example, the one who have diffuculties in understanding long passage can identify the key points of text or get an idea what is talking about by using 'wordle'

KWL


I didn't know anything about readability text tools before and now  I want to know how  it can be useful for teaching in English.
After I did the next activity, I figured out that readability helps to find more appropriate contexts acording to students' English level.

There are several positive aspects of  blogging.  One of them being aware of the changes in the world. That is, my students can update their knowlegde in several areas. For example; sports, language etc. The other aspect is that my student can follow my assignments easily. They can also follow their classmates blogs so they can interact with each others. It leads to more communication.
