TELL Course Topic 5 : Technology & Teaching Vocabulary


This topic also has videos that must be watched to provide a deeper understanding of the material being taught namely Technology and Teaching Vocabulary, you can check the video below


In this video, one of the examples of websites that can be used by teachers and students in teaching vocabulary, the website is Voice of America "News Words" which provides new vocabulary every day with a style of reading news that can be learned and understood the meaning of the words given.


News Words is one example of vocabulary on the Voice of America webpages. In this section the authors have taken words that are found in news stories and they have created little mini lessons about each of the words.

And these are some of the reasons why learning vocabulary is important : 
  • Without grammar little can be conveyed. We can’t say much without grammar but without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed. Vocabulary holds the meaning.
  • Historically, vocabulary has been a neglected area in language instruction
  • Learners need instruction to learn vocabulary because they cannot learn all they need on their own.
  • It is difficult for them to select the appropriate words to study, identify words they need, and understand what aspects of the words they should be studying.
