Approaches for teaching vocabulary

Today we learned about two approaches for teaching vocabulary: the present and learn and the Learning through Input Approach. You can see a PowerPoint presentation of the approaches here. I would like to tell you about the strengths and weaknesses of each approach as well as the approach I would use as a Junior High School English teacher.



First, I will talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the Teaching and Learn Approach.
■Strengths
・ It is intelligible because it uses cards or charts.
■Weaknesses
・ It is passive.



Second, I will talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the Learning through Input Approach.
■Strengths
・It is easy to memorize.

■Weaknesses
・Some students understand many vocabulary, but the others can nat understand.

Lastly I would use both of these two methods for teaching vocabulary. Because it compensate each demerit with each merit.
