Ask the students how they usually get the meaning of new words in a new passage.Step 2Vocabulary1. Time limit: Give the students a time limit of five minutes for vocabulary enquiry, whether this involves dictionary use, language corpus searches, or questions to the teacher.2. Meaning consensus: Get the students to work together to search for and find word meanings. (To start the procedure, ask individual students to write down three to five words from the text they most want to know the meaning of. When they have each done this, they share their list with another student and e up with a new joint list of only five words. This means they would probably have to discuss which words to leave out. Two pairs join to make new groups of four and once again they have to pool their lists and end up with only five words.) 3. Present ways to find out word meanings from clues provided by context:1) Some sentences give the definition for a difficult word with the help of punctuation such as mas, dashes or parentheses.eg：You find newsreaders and weather forecasters all speaking with different accents—American, British, Australian, and even Spanish. (the meaning of “accent” can be easily guessed)2) Context sometimes gives examples to illustrate a difficult word rather than define it. We can use the examples to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word. The British use prepositions where Americans sometimes omit them. (From examples before this sentence we get the meaning of “omit”.)3) Synonyms are words or phrases that are similar in meaning. A synonym is one type of context clue that helps you to determine the meanings of unfamiliar words. the British drive cars along motorways and fill up with petrol.
