This unit covered how to teach grammar and vocabulary. At the beginning of the unit, there was a section that talked about how to select which vocabulary to teach students. They stated that teachers should teach words that are frequently used. I came across a blog post that talked about how to efficiently and effectively learn a new language in 3 months: https://tim.blog/2009/01/20/learning-language/. The blog says to learn the 200 most used words and to study cognates, which are words that are the same in each language. For example in the Japanese language, the English word 'camera' is 'KA-MA-RA.' This makes learning the word camera extremely easy since the word is essentially pronounced the same in Japanese! In my lessons, I will be introducing 10-12 cognates weekly to my students. This will give them very easy vocabulary to learn since they are the same in their native language! I will also be incorporating the 200 most used words in my lessons along with the 'teacher's lesson book.' I think my unconventional way of teaching English will be more effective than the conventional way. I have reason to believe so because I have unconventional teaching methods for my piano lessons and 90% of my students are able to do college level music work (ear training, theory, reading).
