Teaching English vocabulary, without using translation, is all about eliciting. This means pulling out the meaning of the word from your students. We cover: miming, pictures, drawing, realia, props, context, and all of the techniques to teach vocabulary like a pro.
After you elicit the vocabulary, make sure to board the word correctly, drill for pronunciation, and of course, CCQ.
I've got a video on CCQing here for you - • Teachers, Never Ask TH...
If you can master these eliciting techniques, you will be a force to reckon with in the classroom. Eliciting, and teaching lexis in general, takes practice. Don't be discouraged if you struggle with these concepts in the beginning.
So much of good eliciting is having a great teacher voice.

Greetings from Iraq
Chris -- you are unsurpassed.
Awe shucks, thanks 😊
Hi Chris! Thank you very much for your videos. I find it really useful. I work with foreign pupils and we learn lots of new words. Our next topic is Extra curricular activities and school clubs. Do you have any ideas how to present the vocabulary for this topic? There are lots of words, verbs, adjectives and nouns (basketball club, art club, politics cloud, play a guitar, draw, take a picture, etc). What techniques to engage and involve them? Many thanks 😊
Greetings from Ukraine. Thanks for sharing your videos
Hello to you!
your amazing
Love this!! Can you direct me to a few of your videos that focus specifically on advanced high school students and pre-teaching vocabulary? Thanks!
Regardless of level, these same techniques can be used. Just focus on the right elicit.
Hey,thank you for this.Though I don't feel context would work so well for someone who doesn't know the language at all .
That is correct. For lower level students, you would use more non-verbal elicits
and please can teach us some ideas or activities that involved students in a compitions coz they like it a lot
Great content! very useful! New subscriber here! Thank you for your videos!
Welcome aboard!
Where is part 3 and 4?
This is super helpful, thank you very much. But here is the problem I face while eliciting. When I elicit a word I feel like students need to say alound the translation of the word as not all the students are able to understand the meaning. I can speak students' mother tongue so there is no problem for me now but in an alternate class I dont know how to make sure all students grab the meaning of the word. (Believe me I dont talk this much in class:D )
I love how the eliciting can be fun and physical. Some people love learning words with words but for others (like me!) pictures or acting out words makes so much more sense. I think it will make it easier to remember the words too. Thanks for another informative, friendly and well explained lesson, Chris.
Hello teacher we love ama i nation Rwanda
Can you post a demo video of eliciting and trailing
If you go back to some of my earlier content, you'll see some actual classes that were recorded. The vids are old, but it's all there.
Hi Chris...new subscriber here...thanks a ton...I was wondering if I should be cramming the whole odd list of words before starting my career as a Spoken English Teacher... I am relieved that my collection of words must consist of words that really connects to student's daily basis language and interactions.... thank you...
Thanks for the compliment and for joining!
Thank you so much for this video and all of your content, you helped me a lot🙌🏻
👍
Chris 👋
Hope ur fine. I'm so fond of ur videos.
However, it's been some time that we are waiting for the part 3 and part 4 of this series.
🙏🙏🙏
Yes, it's been long time. I've been very busy with school related things. I plan on shooting again next week!
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL Thank you, sir.
Your videos have really helped me with my classes. 🙏🤍
Brilliant lesson. Just wondering why, you call the inside of the peach a pit instead of a pip. Is it an American thing?
😊😊😊😊
I was wondering if I could ask u a question where r u from?
😀
Hi Chris! Thank you so much for another A-maaazing video! ;P Jokes aside, here's a question: how do you effectively teach ESP to lower or mixed level students (sometimes even low-motivated ones)? I teach English in high school and sometimes it is really hard to get SS to really keep up with the topic and the language in itself. Do you have any tips and tricks I could use? Thank you
You're welcome! Well, first you need to work on motivating the students that learning English is important and it will help them through their lives - if that's possible to do. Then, make sure your intros are really engaging - like dress up and play characters. I'm going to be doing a series on lower level students next!
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL Wow, thank you, that was fast! Great tips. Just another question though, if you don't mind me asking: how would you teach a lesson on, say, the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Or something about Outsourcing, Backsourcing and Insourcing? I struggle with these kinds of topics because I can't seem to find any engaging way of teaching them without ending up into a classic PPP lesson.
May I ask if this is a language class or just a class dealing with history?
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL In Italy, SS learn English grammar, vocab and functions for the first two years of high school, whereas in their last three years they're supposed to study some topics specific to their course of study (e.g. literature, mechanics and IT, business and marketing, etc.) in English. So, the aim there is to teach both content and language. In a class where most SS have a low level of English AND sometimes no motivation at all, that is a hard thing to do.
Once, I had to teach A1 level SS about energy and electricity (content + vocab). I even brought realia with me - electrical wires, insulating gloves, you name it! - but still, some of them were unfazed. How do I spark their interest? Am I asking for magic here? XD
Sorry for the long message, it's probably something that goes beyond a language class.
😂
Hello best teacher ever to me. I wanna be like you. I eagerly wanna be the best teacher ever help me please, I wanna come to you.
thanks alot
you are the best I learned alot from your videos.
can you give us more videpes that focuses on the activities that can we use t oo get students involved and practice the lesson especially grammer and vocabulary
I'll try to do all of this!
Where is part 3?
Lol by the cover of the video I thought “by hitting your students if they don’t wet it right” 😂
Those are my advanced tips - coming soon
Im irabic person and im teaching English Language in iraq pleace iwish from any one to give me any advice to learning ENGLISH 😞
What do you do when there are a few students who know all the answers and the others never figure anything out on their own?
You tell the others to slow down a bit
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL What do you mean?
Tell the other people to wait with their answers and try to get the others involved
This is hard to understand without examples of each form of elicitation being done in a classroom
Give me an example of which technique is hard to understand. I’d be happy to explain more.
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL I think I need to just watch examples of the elicitation actually happening in a classroom - otherwise I don't fully understand it
@@IambiguousSegment gotcha. I don’t do many demos these days and getting a camera in there can be tough. If you check out some early vids of classroom teaching, you should see me using the techniques with students.
