Questions about Vocabulary: Nataly Pinto-Yasna Roa
I think the most popular techiniques are translation,definition and description. That's the way students understand the meaning of a word also is the biggest part of learning a second language.
2) Are there techinques that are particularly appropiate for the presentation of certain types of words?
Of course, a clearly example of this is Description because here the student can express aspects, features, characteristics, animals,places,etc. It's a good way to teach new vocabulary and also is a good technique to use.
3) Are there techniques which are likely to be more, or less, appropiate for particular learner populations (young-adult-beginner-advances, different backgroung cultures)?
Yes absolutely because as teachers we have to consider the different cultures, ages,etc. For example if we teach to a boy of 6 or 7. A picture or a book it will more interesting and easy to understand than a definition.That's why we have evaluate what is appropiate for every situation.
4) Do you, as an idividual, find that you prefer some kinds of techniques and tend to avoid others? Which? And why?
I prefer Illustrations, is useful for kids because we can capture their attention easily and it's more interesting to learn. Also synonyms, hyponyms and antonyms are the most common techniques that teachers use. But in my opinion Translation is the less effective ,because for the students it's boring and they just don't learn at all.
