I am a visual learner and it was much easier to link the new words with the pictures for me. I learned colors, animals, and occupations with pictures. It made it so much easier for me to memorize the new words. I also used picture dictionaries while learning French.]]> 2023-04-16 15:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555845329 sibel40avci https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555847774 At the beginning of my learning another language journey, the pronunciation was not really important for me so I didn't practice at all. But one day in the class, my teacher made fun of the way I pronounced the name 'George'. That hurt my feelings a lot and changed my point of view on English classes for a while. But after that 'incident,' I always try to learn the pronunciation before learning the spelling. It helps me internalize the new word faster.]]> 2023-04-16 15:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555847774 sibel40avci https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555849147 While you are introducing your students to a new word, language specialists say that you need to give the new word orally at first then, you need to show the students its written form. This way students can link the pronunciation and the spelling of that word much easier in their minds.]]> 2023-04-16 15:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555849147 sibel40avci https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555851797 There are many creative ways to introduce a new word to the students. For example, for visual learners we can always use pictures, for auditory learners we can use songs and chants where they have the target word, for kinaesthetic learners we can use total physical response, we can use our body language and act out or mime, and for the ones who chose to write and read we can give them the definition of the target word, or we can give them the translation.]]> 2023-04-16 15:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555851797 sibel40avci https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555853235 I learned the importance of eliciting and how to do that in this class. Checking the understanding of the students was one of my biggest concerns about my job. I couldn't do how to understand it, and till now all of my teachers just asked 'Is it clear? Do you understand?' and then move on. Right now I feel more confident with my future shy students.]]> 2023-04-16 15:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sibel40avci/55ondnitnbqmqlnw/wish/2555853235
