The methods of teaching vocabulary in english classes

6. Community Language Learning or Counseling Learning
This method is designed to ease the learner into gradual independence and self-
confidence in the target language. Learning a language is not viewed necessarily as 
an individual accomplishment, but rather as a collective experience. Small or large 
groups are formed to create a language learning community. Student is at first a 
dependent client of the counselor and becomes increasingly independent through 
five specified stages. Understanding and speaking are emphasized, though reading 
and writing have a place. The basic premise of the method can be found in the 
acronym 
SARD
: 
S
- security (to foster the student's self-confidence), 
A-
attention or 
aggression (students have opportunities to assert, involve themselves), 
R-
retention 
and reflection (students think about both the language and their experience learning 
it), and 
D
-discrimination (sorting out differences among target language forms).

7. Total Physical Response Method
In this method, both language and body movement are synchronized through 
action responses and use of the imperative (direct commands).Teacher provides 
often-humorous variations of commands and the students demonstrate their 
comprehension by acting out the commands. Once students are ready to speak, 
they give other students commands too. Activities later include games and skits. 
TPR is very effective in teaching temporal states, personal pronouns, and other 
deep grammatical structures. Spoken language precedes the written word. 
8. The Communicative Approach
This acquisition-focused approach sees communicative competence progressing 
through three stages:
