Dear students,
Thank yo for your comments. Let me respond your questions one by one.
- First, yes, of course Argin, you can give vocabulary lesson integrated with reading material. By doing so, you teach vocabulary in context. Sorry for the belated posting...
- Second, Dwi Ajeng, well I personally hope that if you become a teacher one day, you'll become yourself. Yes, you can adopt things from your teachers that you think are good to follow.
- Third, yes you can use that technique for listening class.
