BOX 5.2 + BOX 5.5



1.- Some techniques are more popular than others. What are they, and can you account for their popularity?

I think that the most popular techniques are translation and synonyms, but I feel that most effective is illustration, especially in younger kids. They can use images, or demonstration in this one, the teacher show to the student by acting if the words are a verb or point something.

2.- Are there techniques that are particularly appropriate for the presentation of certain types of words?

Yes, like I said before demonstration I think is the best option for verbs, and detailed description I can describe objects, people, etc.

3.- Are there techniques which are likely to be more, or less, appropriate for particular learner populations (young/adult, beginner/advances, different background cultures)?

 I think that in younger kids the more appropriate are illustration and demonstration because is more interesting and attractive than a long definition in 2L.  And for students like us, is are more useful synonyms because we can learn more vocabulary, ex. If we know the word funny we can think in other words like happy. And other technique is definition, because we have to get used to the language.

4.- Do you, as an individual, find that you prefer some kinds of techniques and tend to avoid others? Which? and Why?

I think Illustration is the best, because is easier to make understand to the children when they don't dominate the language very well.
