Participants shared ideas on what they do to encourage learners to record and process new vocabulary, but they also exchanged views on why recording vocabulary is so important in language learning\/teaching. Unsurprisingly, many of the ELT chatters had similar experiences of problems they have encountered with different learner types and suggested possible solutions.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @SueAnnan <\/a>\u00a0said that her students are given little vocabulary books in which they record new stuff in, but she is unsure how much they learn from that.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @SueAnnan <\/a>\u00a0thinks that learners need to use their records or will end up losing that material. In her experience, @SueAnnan<\/a> has noticed that learners make endless lists of random words or phrases that they never actually use. She gave an example of a student who spent ages looking for a word s\/he had noted down but could not recall.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @kamilaofprague<\/a> said that her students create topic related portfolios, which they will later use for the exam.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Mconca16<\/a> confirmed that vocabulary lists are often recommended for exam preparation and\u00a0@eltplanning<\/a> added that helping learners organize and reflect on vocabulary is very important when preparing learners for demanding English exams e.g. Cambridge First (FCE). @eltplanning<\/a> often uses colour coding, word families, derived words etc.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @fionaljp<\/a> said that the best way to encourage record making is to get learners to share their ideas on how they record and how important they feel it is. If strategies are coming from them, it\u2019s a good starting point – @fionaljp<\/a> explained.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Mconca16<\/a> wondered how vocabulary is organized, once it has been recorded, and whether teachers have strategies to guide learners to do that effectively.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @SueAnnan <\/a>also asked which specific tips teachers give on how to record.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Writing down whole sentences takes time and motivation. Mconca16<\/a> asked whether teachers allocate time in their lesson to record vocabulary at all, as she feels this is crucial. @SarahSmithELT<\/a> \u00a0said she used to be afraid of silence while her learners were scribbling down. After her Delta, she has learnt to incorporate vocabulary recording in all lesson stages. @SarahSmithELT<\/a> \u00a0also said that she thinks it’s crucial to increase learner autonomy by encouraging students to read and record vocabulary out of class.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n How can teachers motivate students who never write anything down? @SueAnnan<\/a> wondered. She also asked how teachers react to learners taking photos of the whiteboard. Is that recording? @fionaljp<\/a> thinks it\u2019s still an excellent idea, whereas @EAPstephen<\/a> thinks that will not help if learners will never look those pictures again.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @SueAnnan<\/a> \u00a0raised the question how to deal with learners who don\u2019t write anything down, possibly because they just do not like\u00a0writing (as\u00a0Mconca16<\/a>\u00a0also pointed out).<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @fionaljp<\/a> said that, again, motivation should come from students and that teachers should give them a reason to explore and organize at their own pace.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @MConca16<\/a> and @EAPstephen<\/a> used similar ways to motivate learners to make records by giving them time limits or a challenge e.g. write three words you remember\/you should know from a text\/activity or you have 5 minutes to write words down from the whiteboard.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @ELTplanning<\/a> finds games more motivating for both recording and recalling vocabulary through creative speaking practice e.g. memory palace or making up stories with notes. This is a great idea to get learners to revise and use vocabulary in context.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Different learner types work differently with vocabulary. @SueAnnan<\/a> asked if teachers do different things with adults and teens.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @MConca16<\/a> finds it harder to work on strategies to record new vocabulary with teens and @fionaljp<\/a> confirms that with teens it\u2019s very different.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @SarahSmithELT<\/a> gives teens more time to record vocabulary by allowing them to draw pictures, which they think will help them remember it.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @SueAnnan<\/a> feels that adults would not be motivated to use drawings. They are usually quite good at recording vocabulary, especially Business students. Adults tend to know best what to do – @SueAnnan<\/a> said – although they tend to write down nearly anything they hear (\u00a0@MConca16<\/a>) .\u00a0This is why @MConca16<\/a> thinks that it\u2019s important to offer adult learners some guidance on criteria for recording\/organizing new vocabulary more effectively. Surely, as @fionaljp<\/a> suggested, the key is to highlight to our learners the value of recording and processing vocabulary for better learning.<\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n @SarahSmithELT<\/a> mentioned Norbert Schmitt http:\/\/www.norbertschmitt.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n @fionaljp<\/a> \u00a0mentioned Scott Thornbury \u00a0https:\/\/scottthornbury.wordpress.com<\/a> \u00a0and his V is for Vocabulary teaching https:\/\/scottthornbury.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/02\/v-is-for-vocabulary-teaching\/<\/a><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Summary writer\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Watch movie online The Lego Batman Movie (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n MariaConca –\u00a0@MConca16<\/a>\u00a0 is a\u00a0CELTA\u00a0and\u00a0Delta qualified EFL teacher, teacher trainer, DoS and academic manager in Italy & the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" #ELTchat summary (5 Oct 2016) \u2013 How do we help students record new vocabulary?
