How to improve student’s vocabulary?
Christmas is coming…!
I am preparing Christmas play based on Ebeneezer Scrooge story at the school theater. This is the opportunity to implement holiday’s atmosphere and improve language skills.
There are many methods to improve students vocabulary, among them there is a method called CLIL. It is easier to learn words when you sing them….so we can use the activity technique - the song, thanks to which the pupils remember words and their spelling better. Students can reconstruct the lyrics of a song using phrases written on the board, match the lyrics, for example lyrics in correct.
Moreover, thanks to the fact that the text will be saved on the sheets of paper you can go back to it again. The scheme of sentences is already prepared and you can use it… So, I do that! I chose the song Somewhere In My Memory… and the pupils could remember and improve some vocabulary and pronunciation … such as:
candle – świeca
window – okno
shadow – cień
paint - malować
gaze – wpatrywać się
gazing – wpatrywanie się (bardzo intensywne)
feel – czuć
gingerbread – piernik
precious – cenny, drogocenny
memory – pamięć
around – wokoło, dookoła
And how was it? It was funny! Students have already learned the text by heart and they improve vocabulary and enjoy … You can look at the pictures….So, now we are working on the show and I hope the audience will be satisfied on the day of premiere.
Keep your fingers crossed!
