Story
My students may acquire vocabulary to name a specific object or photo that is presented to them. Making the connection that there are similar items that bare the same name is a much harder task for them. When teaching new words it may be helpful to present several versions of the target in different media formats and with varied sensory aspects. Related information with regard to basic concepts, functions and categories and the language that describes these aspects can help make important connections. Placing an item within a typical event with attention to setting and people may be another helpful strategy. Selecting typical iconic representations of words within typical events and scenarios can often insure a high degree of redundancy in day to day experiences.
