THE VOCABULARY LISTS DILEMMA

30Aug 202030 Aug 2020

Hola my dear friends and colleagues. Today in my weekly “backwards cap” video I talk about the infamous topic of Vocabulary Lists!

Do we really need them? Is this the only way our students will learn the target language? I invite you to watch this short video and find out how I manage this common situation in my instruction.

As always know that I welcome your questions and kind comments. Please share with other colleagues if you happen to find this post helpful to World Language teachers. Gracias.

I invite you to visit my Teachers Pay Teachers store as it is growing with useful, fun and interesting resources for you Spanish instruction. You can access my store HERE

This is a great idea! Do you think it’s reasonable for the very first days/weeks of Spanish 1? I feel like they need to have some sort of structure. “Technology” is usually an upper level topic. 150 words would be impossible. What do you think? I laughed at “Learning the same words.” 🙂 I can just imagine all of my students walking around saying the same thing – j ajajaja!

  I believe that for first day or week of Spanish 1 you need a more comprehensible approach . Allowing them to hear your Comprehensible Spanish, getting used to the sounds of the language .

Este es un concepto útil para todos de nosotros como profesores. Los estudiantes tienen que pensar/incorporar las estructuras que sirvan para sus ideas y sus propias conversaciones. The more experience I have teaching, the more I agree that a specific vocabulary list to memorize does not make sense for fluency.

  We are on the same page here. The more I teach the more I realize how complicated I have made things in the previous years .

Hola Diego, Gracias por tu vídeo sobre listas de vocabulario y toda la información que compartes con nosotros, los profes. Claro que no que no queremos agobiarlos con tantas palabras a la vez. En nivel 2 tengo que usar el libro “Descubre”, por lo menos como guía. Además de “escoger 25 palabras de la lista en el texto y hablarme sobre tu uso de tecnología” por ejemplo, ¿cuáles son otras actividades que haces con la “lista” de palabras que los chicos han escogido? Otra vez, mil gracias y saludos desde PA, Melissa D.

  Simplemente creamos actividades u oportunidades para que se pongan en contexto estas palabras y que cada estudiante pueda usarlas para expresar su realidad.

  Ponerlas en contextos reales . Cartas, skits, juegos, artículos . Darles la opción de usar mucho las mismas palabras, no poco muchas palabras 🙂
