Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Students learning and practicing in the context of real situations

Vocabulary in the target language should be kept under control, i.e., graded. This can be done by students learning and practicing in the context of real situations using authentic materials.

  • The teacher neither needs to teach all the words nor provide a short list of words that are commonly used, as this will lead to meaningless memorization of words.
  • The teacher should focus only on those Vocabulary Items that are:
    • Frequent 
    • Important
    • Needed for Classroom Tasks & Activities
    • Regular (common patterns or features)
    • Easy to learn
  • students learning and practicing in the context of real situations support the Vocabulary in the target language.
  •  Whereas if students write/speak using a graded list of new words then it becomes a mechanical drill and the purpose of the activity remains for the sake of grades. Furthermore, if students read a prescribed book and take a vocabulary quiz, this limits the student's active participation and exploration. So these are not the appropriate activities for vocabulary building and grading.
Hence, we can conclude that teachers must create intentional learning opportunities which reflect direct instruction of the target vocabulary. This can be done by:Students learning and practicing in the context of real situations.
