The methods of teaching vocabulary in english classes

The Role of Motivation
An interesting study in 1999 by Marianne Nikolov, a Hungarian teacher and researcher, shows that children as they get older draw on different sources of motivation to learn English. At the beginning, the youngest age groups are motivated by positive attitudes to English and the learning context. They want to learn English because they enjoy activities and the comfortable atmosphere in class. Children also say that they like English because they like the teacher. Young children are therefore intrinsically motivated. This means that they want to learn as they enjoy the process of learning English for its own sake. Hence we can say that motivation plays a crucial role in foreign language learning.of the main experts on language learning motivation, Zoltan Dorney, suggests that there are four main components of motivational teaching. The first stage is to create motivating conditions for learning: a supportive and pleasant environment in the classroom. The next stage is to introduce initial motivational techniques such as talking about values, showing positive attitudes to learning, creating expectations of success. After the initial stage, teachers need to maintain and protect their learners motivation by offering stimulating activities and fostering self-esteem, self-confidence, and co-operation among learners. Finally, motivating teachers take care to turn evaluation and feedback into positive experiences.

Developing childrens basic communication abilities in English means teaching children to talk about themselves and their immediate environments, to understand and respond to basic English instructions, and to communicate about topics of interest with a partner. The second main aim refers to the need to make English an attractive school subject to children so as to foster their motivation and encourage them to learn languages in the future.


Teacher factors
The primary class teacher who has a good knowledge of the children, their special needs as well as the target language is in the best position to succeed. Since the teacher is main source of the language, the way the teacher speaks is of great importance. The teacher should answer the questions with a full sentence. Children thus get used to hearing patterns of English. Since children understand things in a more holistic way than adults and concentrate much more on the totality of the message itself and not on the messages individual components, there is no need for the teacher to slow his speaking speed.play a key role because their decisions can make a real difference with regard to the success of a particular programme.
