3. Teaching English Vocabulary
• Teaching English vocabulary is an important area worthy of effort and
investigation. Recently methodologists and linguists emphasize and
recommend teaching vocabulary because of its importance in language
teaching.
• Vocabulary is needed for expressing meaning and in using the receptive
(listening and reading) and the productive (speaking and writing) skills.

4. ILLUSTRATIVE or CONTEXTUALIZATION
• An illustrative sentence is an example that clarifies the usage of a
particular sense of a lexeme.
An illustrative sentence will help you
• Clarify the meaning of a lexeme
• Use a word in the correct grammatical context, and gain insight into the
culture and literary style of the language.

5. The teacher not only presents the word but also gives the
definition explaining the word’s meaning. It is essential for the
teacher to bear in mind that, while explaining certain words, he
should use the language that is comprehensible for the learner.
EXAMPLES: He is very clever. He reads lot books. He does
the homework.He understands to learn, and devise or apply
ideas.

6. Finally, in the illustrative sentences step the teacher puts a short
illustrative sentence on the board so that the meaning will be clear to
anyone reading the notes afterwards. Students might enjoy trying to
make some illustrative sentences by themselves as well.
