When it comes to antonyms the teaching of them should be
based on listening and speaking ESL skills.
In general listening
and speaking skills are important because through using language and hearing
how others use it, children become able to describe the world, make sense of
life's experiences and get things done. They learn to use language as a tool for
thinking, collectively and alone.
Teaching antonyms through listening and speaking could be
very beneficial and practical for pupils
because helps them understand better theory, practice theory immediately through examples and that can
lead to better memorization.
It`s not wrong to use all four ESL skills to teach antonyms,
on the contrary it could be very interesting too. But I thing focusing on these
two at the beginning could be easier and effective.
Hi Hristina. I am glad that we share the same opinion as belong to speaking and listening skills. Using only theory to explain Antonyms could be very boring for students and make them lose the interest. While learning students to use the language as a tool for thinking as you have mentioned in your post sounds really interesting. Good job until now Hristina. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Hristin!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that practising theory immediately through examples, really would be very great, as student will feel more confident for what they learned.
Good luck, dear!! :) :)
Hi Hristina ! I think that speaking and listening is the best way children to acquire the language with the correct pronunciation an to achieve a high level in English . Good job :)
