SOME GUIDELINES FOR VOCABULARY TASK DEVELOPMENT
Before developing a vocabulary task it is necessary to identify the specifications of the task you are going to develop. The following checklist may be useful for this purpose:
questions comments
1 What materials am I going to use for the development of the task? (e.g. existing textbook, literature source, newspaper or other authentic materials)
2 What level of vocabulary should the task be aimed at? (e.g. pre - intermediate)
3 Should the task focus on the expansion of passive vocabulary or on vocabulary activating?
4 What is the precise focus of the task? (e.g. words related to a certain topic; different meanings of a word; different words with similar meanings; collocations; style and register)
5 What type of task am I going to use? (e.g. open/banked Gap filling exercises; comparing synonyms in context; replacing nonsense words in a text; multiple matching; analysis of words
and word combinations in a text; using word combinations and phrases in speech; using texts with thinking questions; labeling and describing objects in a picture etc.)
6 Is there any need to pre-teach some vocabulary? If yes, how amI going to do this?
7 What stages will be there in the task? (e.g. pre-, during- and post-reading)
8 Will my task be integrated with other skills/aspects? (e.g. speaking skills and grammar?) How?
9 Will the task combine different interaction patterns? (e.g. individual and pair work)
10 Which principles of vocabulary teaching will be involved in this task?


LESSON 13: TEACHING PHONOLOGY: ANALYSING PHONOLOGY ACTIVITIES


Aim: to explore different types of activities focused on phonological features in a context.
Objective:

• 
  to explain the difference between phonetics and phonology
  
• 
  Teaching phonology
  
• 
  Analysing phonological activities
  

Lead-in
Time: 10 min

• 
  Ask SS the following question and collect the answers on the board:
  

• 
  How do you understand ‘phonological level’ of language? What does it include?
  

• 
  Differentiate between phonetics as the study of sounds in a language and how they are made and phonology which is an umbrella term covering all the supra-segmentals including stress, intonation, rhythm etc as well as the pure pronunciation of words and phonemes.
  
• 
  Establish that different accents, intonation patterns, pronunciation, etc are known as ‘phonological features’. Suggest that there are different activities focused on different phonological features.
