2. 1. False friends:
• What are false friends?
• What do you think about
with this picture?

3. Definition
• False Friends are pairs of words or phrases in two different
languages which look and/or sound similar but which have very
different meanings. False Friends are sometimes known as False
Cognates.
• Learners will often assume the corresponding word or phrase in the
target language will have the same meaning as the word or phrase in
their mother tongue. This often leads to mistakes.
• Interlingual homophones on the other hand sound the same but have
different meanings

4. Example: Verb (english-germanic)
• “Yesterday, I spent €300 to Unicef.“
• to spend = ausgeben, vergeuden
• spenden = to donate, to dispense
 “Yesterday, I donated 300€ to Unicef
What? You
spent money to
Unicef?

6. Mnemonic and techniques
• Mnemonics:
are memory devices that help learners recall larger
pieces of information, especially in the form of lists
like characteristics, steps, stages, parts, phases,. in
1967 from a study by Gerald R. Miller that
mnemonics increased recall. He found that students
who regularly used mnemonic devices increased test
scores up to 77%

7. Techniques
Music Mnemonics
How many lyrics to songs do you remember? How did you come
to remember them?
The same method you used to recall song lyrics also can work
just as well in academics.
Example, some children learn the ABC's by singing the "ABC"
song
Name Mnemonics (acronym)
the 1st letter of each word in a list of items is used to make a
name of a person or thing.
Example, ROY G. BIV = colors of the spectrum
(Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet).
People Outside Keep Eating Macaroni Over Noodles = POKEMON

8. Expression or Word Mnemonic
To make an Expression or Word mnemonic, the first letter of each item in a list
is arranged to form a phrase or word.
Examples:
In English, the 7 coordinating conjunctions are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
= FANBOYS
Chunking mnemonics
it is memory technic breaking information down into the groups
or units.
• The example :
+905552366712 = +90-555-236-6712

9. Rhyme Mnemonics.
puts information in the form of a poem.
Examples the number of days in each month is:
30 days have September, April, June, and November.
All the rest have 31
Except February my dear son.
It has 28 and that is fine But in Leap Year it has 29.

10. Advanced organizer
• advance organizer is a type of instructional preparation that links
previously learned or known material to a new lesson. Usually the
new material is at a more advanced level of the same subject.
Familiar terms and concepts are re-introduced and applied again,
but at a higher level.
• Advance Organizer is an idea which needs to be explored
intellectually. In the teaching process, many teachers start their
lessons by asking the students to memorize their last week
activities.in the Advance Organizer Model, techers help the
students memorize their past activities by presenting or discussing
the general concepts they have recerived before.

11. Applications
Advance organizers can be applied in different ways.
For example:
• New material can be described using familiar terms
• Material can be introduced in the form of a story, using familiar terms
• Students can individually skim previously learned material before moving
onto the new material
•
Students can use graphic organizers to make visual connections between
what they've learned previously and the new material.

12. What are some examples of advance organizers?
• Advance organizers can present themselves in a plethora of ways.
These can include anything from skimming the reading material to
the use of graphic organizers.
• 1. Narrative
• 2. Expository
• 3. Skimming
• 4. Graphic Organizers
• 5. KWL Chart

13. Narrative
• This type of advance organizer presents new information in the
format of a story. For example, a teacher will provide the main
and important concepts of the lesson by telling a story that
includes these concepts

14. Expository
• This type of advance organizer is used to present new or detailed
information as oppposed to making connections with previously
introduced information.
•

15. Skimming
• Skimming is when the teacher provides the learners with the
opportunity to skim over the information that is about to be
introduced, focusing on highlighted information (headings).

16. Graphic Organizers
• Graphic Organizers are used as a
method of presenting information in
the visual realm.
• They are efficient because they
highlight and focus on just the
important aspects and they also show
relationships between necessary
information.
• Graphic Organizers take on a plethora
of avenues and looks, but the two
most utilized are Venn Diagrams and
Concept Mapping.

17. KWL Chart
• A KWL chart is a type of advance organizer that
can be used at any age and for any subject
matter. This particular chart has three steps:
• 1. What the learner already knows about the
subject matter
• 2. What the learner wants to know about the
subject matter
• 3. What the learner learned
• The first two steps take place before instruction.
These steps allow the teacher to activate prior
knowledge and get the students to ask questions
and be active particpants. The third step is the
last step of instruction, the culmination of the
lesson. Through this step, the learners reflect on
what they learned and if their questions were
answered.
