*VOCABULARY AND ACTIVITIES*

*Date 22/03/2021 to 27/03/2021*

VOCABULARY :
            Learning vocabulary and adding to the exiting list is important part of any language, learning programme. Vocabulary is an essential instrument helps in making communication effective.  It securely speeds the learner’s efficient and sensitive control of the language.  If we want to develop the communicative ability in the learners first we have to focus on the development of the vocabulary.  On the other hand, communication becomes difficult when a person has limited vocabulary.
Meaning of Vocabulary :
         To know a vocabulary does not only mean the knowledge of its meaning.  Meaning is only one aspect of the vocabulary.
         A vocabulary has form / shape [spelling], sound [pronunciation] and
Environment  [  the  other  words  associated  with  the  word ] So learning 
vocabulary means learning all aspects.

The definition of the “VOCABULARY” is

V - Vitality - working in an effective way
O - Originality - quality of being original
C - Complexity - the state of being complex
A - Actuality - the state of being real
B - Brevity - the quality of being concise
U - Utility - the degree of usefulness
L - Legibility - which can be read easily
A - Affinity - close similarities with each other
R - Reliability - It should be true for centuries
Y - Yield ability - to produce as a result of work or effect.



Types of words / vocabulary
Type of vocabulary What  ? How  ?
• Active Vocabulary The learner will use the words in speech and writing To present it in meaningful context.
• Passive Vocabulary The learner might come across in speech or writing.  Therefore a learner should be able to recognize though he/she may never use them in her / his own writing. To present in meaningful context to bring out the meaning shape [spelling] pronunciation and stress.
• Ad-hoc Vocabulary Words which may be important for a given piece of text, but are unlikely to have any utility outside the text. Just gloss i.e give the meaning in the given context.
• Island Vocabulary It refers to the vocabulary which is totally new to the learner To approach someone who knows or refer a dictionary.

     To improve vocabulary proficiency this need  has to be created in the classroom by the teacher.  The major source is reading material and related activities.  Teaching of words means selecting the words to be taught, presenting the words in context, creating opportunities for practice and providing suitable contexts for independent use.
    Once the word list is decided, one can explore ways to teach these words effectively by different activities.
    The capacity of the teacher is in understanding the different levels and in being resourceful enough to design a suitable activity.
   To be able to give each of the learners a feeling the he/she is important, one can choose suitable mode of transaction and appropriate activities.  This means one should be able to manage the class in such a way that one can pay sufficient attention to each one of them.  And also should be able to plan a variety of activities which will suit every learner including the child with special need.
  A variety of activities can be planned to suit varied levels of proficiency and interests.  An ability [competence] can be developed by using activities.  Therefore these activities are tools to teach vocabulary.
1. Using Picture :
     Students / Learners can easily understand the words through the pictures because they can see and remember.

2. Stick Figures :
     It is easy to draw on the black board.  We can use this technique to teach verbs, prepositions, adjectives, nouns etc.

3. Homophones :
     Words having same pronunciation but different meaning and spelling is called homophones.
Eg :- See- Sea, Sell-cell, Steel- steal, site-sight, weak-week, hare-hair, I-eye, sail-sale,  son-sun.

      Words having same pronunciation and spelling but different meaning is called homonyms.

                       The feelings or ideas that are suggested by a word rather than the
               actual meaning of the word.
                        When we say some words, these words give the positive meaning and
   some words give negative meaning. Thus is called the connotation.
Eg : Childish, Childlike and youthful have the same denotative, but
                   different connotative, meanings.

Conclusion : Language is a medium of communication.
              English is a very important language of communication.  But at the same time facilitators feel very difficult in teaching English at all stages of Education. Therefore our 
Aim is to make English more feasible to all the children keeping the varied backgrounds of pupils.  This 30 days English  training programme for primary school teachers of South India has made a sincere effort to pinpoint the required outcomes of a lesson through competencies, language functions, structure techniques, grammar, vocabulary development activities, phonetic, language skills, pronunciation etc. 
          A vocabulary is a set of familiar words within a person’s language.  A  vocabulary, usually developed with age , serves as a useful and fundamental tool for communication and acquiring knowledge.  Acquiring an extensive vocabulary is one of the largest challenges in learning a second language.
         An activity in a classroom has got its own importance.  In this regard, I have discussed some sample activities in simple language.  These activities will certainly help the facilitators to motivate the pupils to engage learners in self-learning.
      These activities discussed here will provide opportunities to the pupils to enrich their vocabularies and make their usage in the language.  The success of all these activities depends upon the facilitators who deal them and their language involvement and harmonious relationship they have with the pupils.
Impact of this training on me as a facilitator and my pupil in the classroom :
      Vocabulary games make language learning an enjoyable experience.  As children play the game, they practice language.  This develops confidence among the learners to use English language in a communicative situation.  Vocabulary games also create a free environment.  Finally it leads for better learning.
      As a facilitator I involved all my pupils in the vocabulary development activities.  I made use of these activities as warm up exercises, recapitulation and some time as evaluation.  All my pupils participate in group activities effectively.  My pupils are getting maximum exposure of listening to English words and sentences.
      Now in my English classroom pupils try to imitate and speak on their own.

     “Tell me I will Forget Show me I will remember, Involve me I will understand”


      Hence this 30 days training programme helped me to grow more as the facilitator. I thank everyone for giving me opportunity in forum  to take part in this action research.

This is Mr.Lingusa Baddi.
