Teaching vocabulary

Today we learned about two approaches for teaching vocabulary: the Teach and Learn Approach and the Learning through Input Approach. You can see a PowerPoint presentation of the approaches here. I would like to tell you about the strengths and weaknesses of each approach as well as the approach I would use as a Junior High School English teacher.

1.Present and Learn
I think this is easy to acquire a new vocabulary and to understand how to use the word in a sentense for students but this simple and fixed task bore students .

2.Teaching Through Input
I think this interesting for some students .For example the techer talk a story in the class students can acqire new words accidentally . This is exciting for some students but some students can not understand the words so this may take student' motivation .

Maybe I will use "Present and Learn " because I think this is easier than the another for many students .
