This unit taught me that there are quite a few different aspects to teaching new language. Students needs to be taught vocabulary but there are several factors in deciding what is appropriate - such as the frequency and coverage and the 'teachability'. Vocabulary needs to have it's meaning explained but also it needs to be demonstrated how and when to use it, how to spell it, how to pronounce it and how it interacts with other words in sentences. During the Engage phase of lessons, students can be introduced to new vocabulary by way of realia, pictures, stories and discussion, mimes or several other techniques. Grammatical structures need to be taught in tandem with vocabulary and can be introduced in similar ways during the Engage phase. Choral and individual drilling would be an example of a Study phase activity for learning new language but there are many other activities such as worksheets or reading texts / watching videos. Activation stage activities are almost all centered around having the students speak the new language through role-play, communication games, debate etc.
