the meaning, form, and pronunciation of new words.
• Hand out a copy of the Dictionary race worksheet to each student
and a dictionary book.

word in the dictionary. This helps with spelling and finding their
way around a dictionary' {The TEFL Academy Unit 2 Part 1, see
bibliography for the full reference}.

, synonym or antonym for each vocabulary item, and the remainder
set for homework.
• A student will be chosen to mention the page number and read
the dictionary text for the item mentioned, this will be written on
the board by the teacher, then another student will be chosen to
do the same.
