Louisa shares a quick, ten-minute audio clip of Carol Gaab, from Fluency Matters, discussing ways you can teach the same word 100-250 times without the student getting bored. The key here is to introduce the word in a different context each time so that the brain can naturally pick up the usefulness of the word! Key Takeaways: [:35] What are some of the challenges today’s teachers face? [1:35] You can’t really, and consciously, practice a language. Carol explains further. [2:40] Instead of providing more vocabulary, teachers first need to provide more exposure by mixing up the context of the same basic and simple words. [3:30] How can you repeat the same word that many times? [6:00] You can search for videos using your target word to teach the students the same word in different contexts. [8:20] Carol won’t pick a video that’s more than 30 seconds for a beginner. Commercials tend to be perfect for this example. Mentioned in This Episode: TeachersThatTeach.com Fluencymatters.com
