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 tell you about the Present and Learn approach.
The strenght of this is easy to understand what teacher said because students gets some vocabulary at first that they study today. Then they can understand meaning of their teacher indicating.
The weakness is the Present and Learn lesson is become monotonous. Students will need not to say other words without todays' vocabulary. And their stance is passive. It makes them only to pronouce the words.
I think that this activity is effective for a English beginner like the age of 2~5. Children get to understand a noun in this age.
Next, about the Learning through Input Approach.
Intuition tell students what each words indicates their meaning is strength. They can get the faculity of comprehend the meaning from a pictures or sentences.
The weakness is when there is the something which they do not understand meaning of words judging from their eyes, it is hard to understand it. So we should choose an appropriate materials.
This activity is good for elementary or junior high school student. They can suppose a complicated input.
