Why is English Important? Context!!!


Above we see a Alex U. setting up the context clues for his English lesson for the beginner English students.
He spends time telling an inconsequential story but dropping the key vocabulary words for the students to pick up and want to listen. The students gain an understanding through the context he draws and the words and pics he puts on the blackboard. He does this for about ten minutes, pointing to the objects and adding more slowly. This is called the Context setting, if you students doesnt understand the context, they will not have meaning to the lesson. This will cause chaos and the students will not feel like part of the lesson. The number one thing here is giving the students the context appropriate to their life, that way learning is important to them.
