- we remember through associating (connecting the new information to those items already stored)
- our brain constantly creates new connections (links), compares the info, drops unused or not reliable items
- the usual capacity of working memory is about 10 items; connecting and associating the items always supports memorisation
understanding => remembering (passive knowledge) => independent use
VISUALS always help! (images, charts, graphs...)
In the class:
1. Presentation
present the meaning of new items clearly, PREVENT any mistakes or misunderstanding
What makes a good presentation
or explanation? - It is
*
clear
*
simple or simplified
*
brief
*
true
*
uses examples
*
applies various approaches
*
asks for feedback
How can you present vocabulary?
*
definition
*
description
*
examples - hyponyms
*
illustration
*
demonstration
*
context
*
synonyms
*
antonyms (opposites)
*
translation
*
collocations
2. Practice
~
controlled
activities - focus on form (matching)
~
guided
activities (multiple choice)
~
free
activities - creative, high level of tolerance, autonomy, S centered (gap fill)
Task 1:
What specific useful information do you remeber?
Always present the correct answer first.
OdpovědětVymazatPresent with practical examples - images.
Everything should be idiotproof.
Don´t ask children what it might be? first explain than ask
OdpovědětVymazatHotpotatoes are very usefull during teaching.
First teach them, show them than test them.
1)We should present new information to avoid the mistakes our pupils might make
OdpovědětVymazat2)Kids are able to remember 10 units of information
3)Mice can genetically inherit an ability to chase and hunt down a piece of cheese in a labyrinth
mb
Asociation between words.
OdpovědětVymazatMake it idiot/childrenproof.
Repetition- 80-100 times.
1. Presentation- meaning- images, relia, context
OdpovědětVymazat2. Practice- match
- Mc
- Gapfill
3. Make it fun, avoid mistakes and explain information before giving exercises. Plus repeat information so the kids will remember the given vocabulary.
Dont ask questions, just teach them, give them exercise and let them go home.

Jo a ještě don´t make mistakes.

OdpovědětVymazat1) It is not useful when you teach new vocabulary to mess up everything together, but to teach with pictures and simple explanations that would help students to memorize a new word
2) It is always easier avoid a mistake at the beginning that trying to correct it later
3) The capacity of memorizing is approximately 10 new pieces of information, although the older you are the bigger each "space" of the memorizing chain gets
I learned that when you're teaching somebody, the first entry is the most important so it should be correct. I also memorised that learning by and with association is very effective. And the last thing was that you have to use a new word around a hundred times to properly memorise it - repeat and revise!
OdpovědětVymazatExplain clearly and simply the right and correct answears first.
OdpovědětVymazatStart practicing with easy, mistake-proof exercises and continue to more difficult and creative.
Use everything in context. Use examples, pictures, etc.

1) Memorizing things can be easier if we find connections between them.
OdpovědětVymazat2) Always show kids the right answer first because what the see or hear firstly, that is what they match together.
3) To use word actively, we need to hear it or use it 80 times
1. Simple, easy and clear presentation of new words.
OdpovědětVymazat2. Repetition and revision of new words.
3. No good of exercises in the learning of new words.
add 3. on the first time when you present them.
VymazatAvoid mistakes in teaching new words.
OdpovědětVymazatRepeating is not the same as revising.
In order for the kids to learn a new word and for it to be included in a daily vocabulary, it has to be used at least 80-100 times.
Use images or realias to present new words.
Aways explain a new word before using it.
When learning new vocabularies it is better to match them with theme.
OdpovědětVymazatWhen you present new word. Do not let them guess. They remeber the first guess even it is not right.
After 80-100 repetition new word is person able to use the new word actively.
P.S.
1) small children are able to remember 10 words in one lesson and use them actively
OdpovědětVymazat2) we shouldn't let students guess foreign words they don't know or in this case they will remember the first guess which can be incorrect
3)we should try to remember words in certain context which can help up with remembering for the next time
L. Anýžová
1. we shouldn't tell them new word and ask students to quess what does it means
OdpovědětVymazat2. people are able to remember new word after revising it 80-100 times
3. it is good to have a system in learning new vocabulary
VŠ
In order to memorize a new word we have to use it 80 - 100 times.
OdpovědětVymazatWe should avoid mistakes instead of correcting them.
We shouldn't ask them to guess the answer first but tell them what it means with a picture and show them the new word first.

- how children easily memorise vocabulary: by explaining, showing, putting into a sentence
OdpovědětVymazat- it's better to teach children vocabulary directly and not use computer (hotpotato), because it is important to AVOID MISTAKES; if the children memorise a word wrong, it'll memorise it wrong for its whole life, it's very hard to rewrite smtg in our memory
- for effective memorising vocabulary children should repeat/revise it at least 80 times and children can memorise only 10 items
Z.Ng.
- 10 věcí si pamatuje i moje babička
OdpovědětVymazat- mění se velikost těch polí, co si pamatujeme, ta velikost je na nás
- Nejdřív naučit správně, pak to zkoušet.
- my grandma can remember 10 thing too
Vymazat- fields of things we can remember change, but the size of those fields is individual
- First teach them right answer, than test them
