- Teaching vocabulary (lexis) is one of the most important skills for an English teacher to master. Without new vocabulary, new language students will not improve and grow in their English skills.

What should English teachers (ESL teachers) consider when teaching vocabulary? How many words to teach your ESL students? What specific words do you teach?
All of these questions are answered in this first video in my How to Teach Vocabulary video series.
My name is Chris Westergaard and I'm the director of The Language House TEFL in Prague - www.thelanguagehouse.net
I train new English teachers every single month on our 4-week TEFL certification course in Prague.
The main concepts we cover in this vocab video are:
Focus on usage
How many words to teach = 10-15 words per lesson
Appropriateness of your words
Passive vs Active vocab
Denotation vs Connotation
Parts of speech and morphology
Collocations
Check out video #2 in the series. It's all about eliciting and teaching language without using translation - • How to Teach Vocabular...

There are not many free courses and tips on how to teach and I believe you did a great job! Thank you so much
These videos are AMAZING and can work for any foreign language teaching. Wish you all the best, keep 'em coming! ^^
You have the best teacher training videos! This is very helpful, thank you!
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much. Keep up the good word.
Love your energy. Thanks for the video.
Hello Chris, been watching all your tips and techniques. My favorite video, not relevant to this video, is about how to teach grammar; the way to elicit, to create lead-ins, contextualization and so forth. I have been using the tips in my classes right after watching the video.
Thank you so much for this video, you have explained everything so comprehensively.
It feels so good just to see that a new video has come out! And there's going to be more and more!
Yes 🙌 hopefully a lot more!
You're a lifesaver! Thank you...
I should watch all the videos we have here because I will work as a teacher next year 💜💜💜 thank you.
Chris is such a brilliant educator so he really deserves that we all pool some money to buy him a comb and hair setting gel
Very nice. Thanks Chris!
Great lesson. Your video made my english improve. because you explain is clearly
Another great video filled with tons of golden nuggets. Thank you Chris for taking something daunting and breaking it down so simply. Your videos have been so helpful.

Wait a minute. "When do we don't use it?" Is that correct? Oh, Mr. Chris- wouldn't it be, "When do we not use it?"
you are the best
go on
Thank you
Thanks 😊😊😊
Greetigs from Peru..!
P.S. In the defense of your "Rain" example, I am a poet and argue that rain can indeed be aggressive or thick .. this is tongue and cheek of course! Cheers!
You are correct!
Thank you for the video
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
Hi teacher.i would like to know how i Can explain to my students words like( free or freedom or helpless ) i mean briefly abstract nouns taking into account they are first year learners at the age of 10 till 12
Hi. Good day.
I have a question. I have a course and I have to teach vocabulary in just CLT method. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Wow! I've been teaching for a while and never considered some of the points mentioned here! I don't teach collocations enough so I'll definitely be using them more with my intermediate students from now on.
Great!
Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Thank you too!
Great job.
Thanks 😊
All suggestions are very much appreciated. Greetings from Ukraine, from a novice teacher 💙💛.
Thanks for the kind words!
ur the friking bestttt
I'm a college student from India. 2nd year of graduation ( Bachelor's degree). I'm thiking of starting to teach English language through TH-cam, practically due to some financial reasons. But I need to boost up my knowledge, to some extent. Can you guide me, about how to prepare myself?
Sir, I earnestly request for a good guidance from you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Man you are a life saver
Good tutoring
Glad you think so!
please link the other videos for vocabulary teaching, can't find them.
The new video is coming out next week
Thank God, I almost got laid off. You saved my life
Now I'll always remember the word 'cutthroat'. Thanks!
I'm not sure about 'verklempt', though. :)
You’re welcome 😇
Thank you for the video :) I am going to try out making scenarios for upcoming classes: I want to check if my students can learn the words better in such a way :) and I also want to try making scenarios for my own French language journey
Your sound has become much better 👍
Thanks! I’m working on it. A lot of the older videos are going to get deleted. As I have made more videos, I’ve learned a lot.
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL thank you! Looking forward to your new videos!!! What you share is always of good use 👍
I’m surprised the video is black out for me .
Sorry I can’t see now I guess my network
❤❤❤
Don't overlook the value of an appropriate corpus for guidance about frequency. The words that *you* as a teacher use all the time aren't necessarily that frequent in the wild.
Hmmm. Couldn't find the next 3vids
The second video is ready and up. Check my most recent upload :)
It's like stock market place not teachers place
I am waiting for u to use these methods in ur classes
I normally just do training teachers these days, but I’ll video a demo lesson with students when I can. I do have a video on teaching a beginner class where you can see a lot of eliciting taking place.
Sounds good
I can't stop waiting
Rain can be oppressive........even sat through a hurricane.
Heat usually collocates with oppressive. We can, of course, especially poetically, use any kind of description for any word, but it’s best to stick with the basics and the most commonly used expressions when teaching.
I want can speak English
6:47 - WHAT?
think about your words before you teach them
"my grandmother is very cutthroat with her cooking :)."
So much fascinating information about an overpriced Japanese car.
The most common mistake of russian and Ukrainian speaking learners is saying" strong rain", the direct translation from our languages.
Yep, that’s why direct translation is not always useful. Always better to try and immerse your students in the target language
Is that haircut intentional?

The video is useful, thank you but please Refrain from saying how to be like a God or Godess, it's disrespectful and wrong. There is only one God, and he is beyond our imagination. He is not a human being.
Sorry, but I am so tired of the constant flow of speech...
Sorry you didn’t like the video. Maybe you’ll like some of my newer ones more
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL thank you! I'll watch🤗
You talk toooooo much man
