Реферат Teaching Vocabulary at the Initial Stage of Instruction





f is unlikely to be children s favorite cartoon character, so it will not create associations of familiarity with the subject. Moreover, the dwarf with a stick can even be associated with the teacher explaining the lesson. The architectural monuments on the cover are also unfamiliar to children.illustrations in the book are simple and close to the text. They add to its meaning and make it more vivid. The shortcoming of the illustrations is the appearance of the characters. They do not have an Armenian appearance, and this can be a little distracti ng for children. The illustrations sometimes cover most of the page leaving little space for the text. The children s attention may be focused on the big illustrations rather than on the lesson.

The names of the characters (Jane, Mike, Pete, Bob) are foreign which again makes children feel the difference of their native environment from the English one, thus creating distance between them and English.exercises are aimed to develop children s reading, speaking and writing skills. The activities facilitate children s use of grammar rules by creating situations in which these rules are needed.

Besides the grammar references, vocabulary lists and expression glossaries are not included in the units either.new vocabulary is presented with sample sentences and pictures. There are no flashcards to make vocabulary presentation more interesting and effective.weakness of the textbook is that it has few revision units. Children have an opportunity for formal review after every 5 lessons, and the new vocabulary words are not repeated in subsequent lessons to reinforce their meaning and use.word-stock is quite large and a little complicated for children who have been studying English only for a year. The concepts presented in the texts may be unfamiliar to children even in their native tongue. For example, a ten-year-old child may not know (and doesn t have to know yet) what is volleyball ,
