Presentation

The lesson presentation is done step by step. The class teacher or subject teacher does the following

1. Provide definitions: Make sure students understand the meanings of the words by providing clear definitions. You could use a dictionary or create your own definitions using simpler language.
2. Use the words in context: Help students learn the words by using them in sentences or examples that show how they are used. This can help students understand how the words are used in different contexts.
3. Practice pronunciation: Make sure students know how to pronounce the words correctly. You could have them repeat the words out loud or use pronunciation guides or audio recordings to help them practice.
4. Create flashcards: Flashcards can be a helpful tool for reviewing and reinforcing new vocabulary. On one side of the card, write the word and on the other side, write the definition. Students can quiz themselves or each other by looking at the word and trying to remember the definition.
5. Encourage students to use the words: Encourage students to use the new words they are learning in their own writing and speaking. This can help them practice using the words correctly and also helps them internalize their meanings.
6. Review regularly: Regular review is important for helping students retain new vocabulary. Set aside time each week to review the words, either as a class or through individual practice.
