Sample lesson:
- Using The Canadian Oxford Picture Dictionary (or a photograph),
ask
a trainee to come up to the front and chose which verbs she is
interested in learning. (The trainee can choose as many as she
would
like.)
- Say each word and have the trainee repeat the word (two
to three
times).
- Say the words in the same order originally presented.
- Trainee
touches each object in the picture after it is stated.
- Say the
words in any order.
-
Trainee touches each object in the picture after it is stated.
- Trainee says the word and the facilitator touches the object.
Follow-up:
- This lesson would also involve making sentences with words
provided in the picture dictionary. Examples include:
- Stir the coffee.
- Grate the carrots.
- Open the tuna.
- Tell trainees that making cue cards with a picture of
the item on one
side and the written form of the word on the other would be a good
idea. The learner could then take these cards home and practice
for
homework.
- Future lessons would focus on other categories of
vocabulary linked
to the topic.
- Review exercises could then include categorization
exercises (as
discussed in Session 1).
