1. Communicative approach
does not emphasize vocabulary
building.
The learner gets ample
opportunities and knows the
social meaning of language

Presented by:
2. A person who wants to learn a
vocabulary will have to learn new
sounds and new structures.
Each language has its own
system of vocabulary, and sound
system of language differs from
language to language depending upon
the culture to which a language belongs.

3. In the teaching of reading,
vocabulary should be
uncontrolled.
Vocabulary should be
kept under control. Vocabulary should
be taught and practiced only in the
context of real situations so that
meaning will be clarified and
reinforced. Source: (Long and Richards, 2007)

Presented by:
4. Most of the strategies practiced in
teaching beginning reading are focusing on
the vocabulary development.
Vocabulary is the smallest unit
learners need to know in order to use the
target language properly. Learners must
attain a certain level of vocabulary knowledge
in order to understand the written and spoken
forms of the target language.

2008; Seville, 1976).

5. Vocabulary is the first and
foremost important step in
language development.
In a classroom where students
are not finding themselves comfortable
with L2, language learning can be
made interactive and interesting with
the introduction of appropriate
vocabulary exercises.Source: (Long and Richards, 2007)

6. Teacher Aisha Lizza of Diplahan Central
Elementary School teaches vocabulary items
primarily by translation. She imparts either a
list of words with their translation at the
lesson's beginning or the content's
translation with new terms or glossaries at
the very end.

Presented by:
This is an erroneous practice as it leads to
a state of confusion for the learners. On the
teaching skills of vocabulary items, Frisby
(1957) commented that all the books we use
are based on limited vocabularies. It is
important that teachers know the principles
which underlie vocabulary selection.”
(Source: Frisby (1957)

7. Sir Sam lets his students listen to the
word in isolation and a sentence. The
students will hear it correctly with two or
three repetitions if they have mastered
the word sounds.
(Source: (Robert Lado: 121)

Presented by:
Careful listening to the
words may be a good option in teaching
vocabulary items in a heterogenic
classroom. Slow pronunciation without
distortion will help. Breaking the word
into parts and building up to the whole
word will also be helpful.

Presented by:
8. Teacher Roa Francisco uses selected and integrated
vocabulary activities. She teaches vocabulary
development depending on the learners’ ability, level of
understanding, and interest. Moreover, Teacher Roa
enriches the vocabulary bank of her pupils on a gradual
basis. As a result, her students have shown keen
interest and enthusiasm in finding, learning, and
understanding new work. Is Teacher Roa an effective
teacher in developing the vocabulary of students?

Presented by:
Although, there is no
surefire remedy or method to enhance
vocabulary in a day or two but
vocabulary activities can be integrated
upon the ability and level of
understanding and interest of learners.

Defining Vocabulary
A vocabulary is a set of
familiar words within a person’s
language. It is developed with
age. It serves useful and
fundamental tool for
communication and acquiring
knowledge.

Presented by:
Defining Vocabulary
The term ‘vocabulary’ is defined as
'the body of words used in a particular
language'. It is also called ‘wordstock’,
‘lexicon’, and ‘lexis’. Vocabulary consists
of the words we understand when we
hear or read them and words we speak or
write.

The Importance of Vocabulary
Source: (Heibert and Kamil, 2007)
Beginning
readers use their
oral vocabulary
to make sense of
the words they
see in print.
Knowing words
and language
usage are basic
to success in
school and in
society.
Word
empowerment
enables
individuals to
speak, read, and
write with
confidence and
effectiveness.
A large
vocabulary is an
asset to readers;
those who know
many words are
more likely to
comprehend what
they read.

D. Vocabulary Learning
Most of the strategies
practiced are usually
focusing on the vocabulary
learning because it is the
smallest unit learners need
to know to use the target
language properly
(Ngan-ha, 2007; Deighton, 1971;
Kurniawan, 2009; Milton, 2008;
Seville, 1976).
Learners must attain a
certain level of vocabulary
knowledge in order to
understand the written
and spoken forms of the
target language
(Ngan-ha, 2007).
Vocabulary is ‘the core
component of all the
language skills’. Thus
failure to gain an
adequate vocabulary
can give negative
consequences to
communication,

2007).

D.1 Vocabulary Teaching and Learning Principles
• Selecting appropriate words is the most
important principle in teaching and
learning vocabulary.
Principle 1: Select
Appropriate Words
• Vocabulary acquisition will be more effective
when a particular word is learned based on
several aspects, (Kieran A. File, 2000).
Principle 2:
Focus on Different
Aspects of Words

Presented by:
Presented by:
• Learners should not be expected to use new
words in activities that require them to know
every aspect of the words, (Barcroft, 2004).
Principle 3: Progress from
Less Demanding to More
Demanding Vocabulary-
related Activities
• Teachers should limit the explanation of
meaning of the new words to just the basic
meaning, as to avoid confusion and
misunderstanding from learners of the new
language.
Principle 4: Limit Forced
Semantic Elaboration
during the Initial Stages of
Learning New Words

Presented by:
Presented by:
• Vocabulary teaching and learning should be
interesting and enjoyable as to keep motivation
high while encouraging students to develop
strategies that they can continue to use once they
leave the classroom.
Principle 5:
Encourage Interest
among Students
during Learning
Process
• Vocabulary can be taught better
through the use of contextual cues.
Principle 6:
Accommodate Use
of Contextual Cues

Presented by:
Presented by:
• A dictionary is one of the important
references in learning new words,
especially for new learners.
Principle 7: Expose
Learners to the Use
of Dictionary
• The more frequently language learners are
exposed to a particular vocabulary, the
more likely they are to remember it.
Principle 8: Exercise
Repetition by
Introducing Words
Frequently inside the
Module

Presented by:
Presented by:
• Mayer and Wittrock state (as cited in
Hogben, 1996), the more effectively the to-
be-learned material is elaborated during
acquisition, the more readily it will be
recalled by the learners.
Principle 9: Promote
Deliberate Vocabulary
Acquisition
• Instead of just sticking to the conventional teaching methods
like reading textbook, referring to a dictionary for meaning
or memorizing new words, teachers could use their
imagination to encourage learners to learn new words in
different types of activities.
Principle 10: Expose
Learners with Exercises
and Activities Other
than Memorizing Words

F.2 Using Morphology/Word Part Clues
Morpheme...
is the name for meaningful word parts that readers
can identify and put together to determine the meaning
of unfamiliar word. Knowledge of morphemes and
morphology, or word structure plays a valuable role in
word learning from context
.

Presented by:
Morphology…
is the study of word formation, including the
origin and function of inflections, or changes made
to words to show such things as tense, case or
number
.
Examples

• Procedure:
– Give a fairly long word printed on a manila paper.
– Make sure that the word contains 2 to 3 vowels.
– Give a signal when the player has to write down as
many words according to the letters available in the
given word.
– It may be best to allow young children to use proper
names, plurals or verb ending in “s” since they still have
limited vocabulary.

F.5 IDENTIFYING OR USING CONTEXT CLUES
Context clues are hints found within a
sentence, paragraph, or passage that a
reader can use to understand the meanings
of new or unfamiliar words.

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.1. DEFINITION / DESCRIPTION CLUE
Examples:
a. His emaciation, that is, his skeleton-like
appearance, was frightening to see.
“Skeleton-like appearance” is the definition of
“emaciation.”
b. Fluoroscopy, examination with a fluoroscope,
has become a common practice.
The commas before and after “examination
with a fluoroscope” point out the definition of
“fluoroscopy.”

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.2. EXAMPLE CLUES
Examples:
a. Piscatorial creatures, such as flounder,
salmon, and trout, live in the coldest parts of the
ocean.
“Piscatorial” obviously refers to fish.
b. Celestial bodies, including the sun, moon,
and stars, have fascinated man through the
centuries.

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.3. SYNONYM RESTATEMENT CLUE
Examples:
a. Flooded with spotlights – the focus of all
attention – the new Ms. Pagadian began her year-long
reign. She was the cynosure of all eyes for the rest of
the evening.
“Cynosure” means “the focus of all attention.”
b. The mountain pass was a tortuous road,
winding and twisting like a snake around the trees of
the mountainside.
“Tortuous” means “winding and twisting.”

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.4. CONTRAST / ANTONYM CLUE
Examples:
a. When the light brightens, the pupils of the eyes
contract; however, when it grows darker, they dilate.
“Dilate” means the opposite of “contract.”
b. The children were as different as day and night. He
was a lively conversationalist, but she was reserved
and taciturn.
“Taciturn” means the opposite of a “lively
conversationalist.”

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.5. MOOD / TONE CLUE
Examples:
a. The lugubrious wails of the gypsies matched the
dreary whistling of the wind in the all but-
deserted cemetery.
“Lugubrious,” which means “sorrowful,” fits
into the mood set by the words “wails,” “dreary,” and
“deserted cemetery.”

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.6. EXPERIENCE CLUE
Examples:
a. During those first bewildering weeks, the thoughts of a
college freshman drift back to high school where he
was “in,” knew everyone, and felt at home. A feeling of
nostalgia sweeps over him.
b. She walked away from her closet and quickly slipped a
jersey over her head. She smoothed it into place over
her hips, added a belt, glanced at the mirror, and left
for work.

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.7. ANALYSIS OR STRUCTURE CLUE
Examples:
a. The story is incredible.
The root cred means “to believe,’ and the prefix in
means “not.” Therefore, if a story is incredible, it is
unbelievable.
b. The somnambulist had to be locked in his bedroom
at night for his own safety.
If a reader knows the meaning of ambular (walk)
and somn (sleep) and sees the sentence, the reader may
realize that a “somnambulist” is a sleepwalker.

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.8. INFERENCE CLUE
Examples:
a. She told her friend, “I’m through with blind
dates forever. What a dull evening! I was
bored every minute. The conversation was
absolutely vapid.”
“Vapid” means “uninteresting.”

Presented by:
Presented by:
F.5.9. CAUSE AND EFFECT CLUE
Examples:
a. She wanted to impress all her dinner guests
with the food she served, so she carefully
studied the necessary culinary arts.

H. MARZANO'S SIX STEPS TO EFFECTIVE VOCABULARY
INSTRUCTION
Academic vocabulary is the vocabulary
critical to understanding the concepts being
taught in class. Marzano (2005) stresses that
in all subject areas explicit vocabulary
instruction is necessary and outlines a six step
process that can help students learn critical
subject specific vocabulary.

Presented by:
Presented by:
INSTRUCTION
Step One:
The teacher gives a friendly, informal description, explanation
or example of the new vocabulary term.
• Provide students with information about the vocabulary
term.
• Create pictures or use video and computer images as a
source of information.
• Describe your own mental picture of the word.
• Use current events and other media to connect the term to
something familiar.
• Have students share what they already know and use this
knowledge as a foundation for more learning
(Marzano, R.J. & Pickering, D.J. Building Academic Vocabulary, 2005)

Presented by:
Presented by:
INSTRUCTION
Step Two:
Students give a description, explanation or example of the new
term in his/her own words.
• Students record their explanation
• Remind students to not copy and only use their own words.
• Monitor to determine if any confusion still exists and correct
misunderstandings with further explanation and example

Presented by:
Presented by:
INSTRUCTION
Step Three:
Students create a non linguistic representation of the
word.
• Provide students with non linguistic methods to record the
vocabulary term
• Students can work in pairs or groups to create a non
linguistic representation e.g. picture, symbol, cartoon,
dramatization or play pictionary, charades, etc.
• Have students record their visuals and share their ideas.
• Continue to identify and clear up any misunderstandings
about the new terms if necessary

Presented by:
Presented by:
INSTRUCTION
Step Four:
Students engage in activities to deepen their knowledge of the

Step Six:
Students play games to reinforce and review new vocabulary.
• Develop deep understanding of academic vocabulary terms by engaging
students in weekly review activities. For example students can play
taboo, dominoes, wordo, pictionary, charades, word sorts, bingo,
crosswords, hangman, card games, etc. (Contact the NBSS for
powerpoint templates of games).
• Have students create and play their own vocabulary games and
activities.
• After activities students can continue to make corrections, additions
and changes to their explanation and visual.

Conclusion
An efficient language teacher can use selected
vocabulary activities or can use integrated activities.
All these depend upon the ability, level of
understanding, and interest of the learners. There is
no sure fire remedy or method to enhance vocabulary
in a day or two. A student's vocabulary bank can be
enriched on a gradual basis and one should always
show keen interest and enthusiasm in finding,
learning and understanding new words.
