Use this simple yet very effective warm-up exercise to expand the vocabulary of your students.
Pick a word and create a word web that maps out the new word. Here is what you can put in each cloud around the target word: 1) meaning, 2) part of speech, 3) pronunciation, 4) translation, 5) sentence, 6) collocations, 7) category, 8) synonyms, and 9) antonyms.
Word webs help your students organize information and learn and remember new vocabulary words. Use them as a warm-up activity in your class and you will see that your students will have a much better understanding of what the new word means.

Thank you for watching, Monire!
It was really helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Well done 🤩
Thank you!
You are amazing dear Val ❤
Thank you so much! ❤
Based on my experience, word webbing is a very effective technique for vocabulary building. I also include word associations which I ask the students what makes them happy and they connect it in their daily lives. I also use word webbing in other subjects. Thanks for sharing!
That's a good idea, Miss M! Word associations work well too!
@@Teacher-Val This activity engages the students to participate and it may take my whole period to have this activity. Especially if students want to copy everything in their notebooks. lol
@@studytimewithmissm2173amazing
Having active class is truly rewarding for teachers
Thank you. I just subscribed.
Thank you and welcome to my channel! 🌹
Thank you for sharing this video i liked it but i think that it takes a lot of time as a warm up activity
Thank you! You can always adapt it to your class. Word webs don't need to be time consuming, and yes, you can definitely use them in class. You can do one as a warm-up activity at the beginning of the class or use a variation of it when explaining new words. Here is an example: ruclips.net/video/si3ylZo4UFw/видео.html. Start watching at 5:40.
It's amaging. We want more activity. Thanks
Thank you so much from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿✌peace

Thank you, teacher, also, I appreciate a lot that there's no distracting music 🎵
You are welcome! What music do you have in mind?
Agree 👍🏻
@@Teacher-Val most contents in RUclips are illustrated with music
Some people would be distracted because it's too loud and it's distracting
@@mahasiswaaktivitas I see. Some of my videos contain background music, too, but I make it very quiet. 😂😂
You are awesome teacher make anyone happy
Thank you, Nazish! :)

@@Teacher-Val Today I just explained my students how to use Word Web. They liked it
👍
You Sir are my favorite teacher.I am a new teacher at primary school.you've really inspired me. Many thanks 👍.
Thank you so much! All the best to you and happy teaching!
Thank you for watching this video.
Haha. That's what it says at the end. :)
I used your method. It's a great. Because our pupils the best remember words and word combination, language phrases too. Thank you.
Fantastic! Glad it worked in your class!
Hello, teacher Val! Thank you very much for your videos! They are really helpful to me as I'm not an experienced teacher. Could you, please, answer my questions? I ca't understand. Makeing a word web seems to be very time consuming. So, you have to spend quite much time to make even 1 word web with 1 word. So, can it be used for learning many new words? And is it possible to use the technique on a lesson?
Good question. Word webs are not time consuming, and yes, you can definitely use them in class. You can do one as a warm-up activity at the beginning of the class or use a variation of it when explaining new words. Here is an example: ruclips.net/video/si3ylZo4UFw/видео.html. Start watching at 5:40.
Thanks for the video! Haven’t tried this up yet, so there comes a follow up question: what to do if you already have a collocation/combined forms in your source vocabulary? (e. g. have a shower, get dressed etc)
There's no need to use everything what's on my list. Just use what is relevant for your class.
Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 simple and effective 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I really need to implement more of these strategies into my classes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes, give it a try. You will be surprised by the results. :))
Thank you so much teacher you are one of the best teacher I have
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me.
wonderful ways!!!!!! I' m trully crazy of your ways.
Thank you very much!
I love your videos. Thanks a lot for sharing 😊. I also teach primary school students and your videos really help.
Thank you very much!
Hey Teacher Val. I really enjoy this video u made. It’s very instructive n helpful. Currently I’m an English teacher working in a public high school in China. As u might know, reading comprehension is a big essential part in high school English teaching. And it’s also a predominant part in the college entrance exams in China. So I’m wondering in what way is better to teach high school students on reading comprehension. I’d very much appreciate it if u could give me some instructions
Thank you very much! What city are you from? I can't answer your question in a few sentences because I need to see the books you are using to give a meaningful response. Your students need to develop the reading skills that will enable them to not only comprehend texts in English or pass the exams, but also obtain what they need to deliver a written/oral response. The following reading strategies usually help: previewing, contextualizing, visualizing, Q&A sessions, summarizing, skimming, scanning, paraphrasing, etc.
Can't thank you enough!
I'm going to use this tomorrow for sure.
Thank you!
Amo seus vídeo!!!!
Obrigada! Thank you! :)
Thank you for this video teacher Val! Learned something essential for teaching from one of your brilliant approach! Will definitely use this in my next lesson.
Thank you very much! I am happy it was helpful!
It's very useful lecture. Thank u sir
Super sir 👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you
Good day, Val! Thank u 4 the game. While watching this video it came to my mind to use it with grammar material. My students are studying gerund and infinitive now. I consider it'll be good to write 2 cloudes "Gerund", "Infinitive" and add words and phrases used with them!?
Great idea! Word webs are not carved in stone. You can improvise and use them for anything you want as long as it benefits your students.
Thanks a bunch
My pleasure!
Thank you so much, you’re motivating me :)
I'm so glad! Thank you very much!
Thank you😉 I will try🌷
Ner uz ka! Malonu matyti tautiecius komentaruose!
Very usefull thanks. Saludos desde Ecuador.
Thank you! Greetings from China!
I love your creativity and meeting you was a bleesing. I learnt about word webs at the teachers College. Word web greatly help a lot.

Thank you so much😊, this is very helpful.😊
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Val thank you for this activitiy as a warm up activity . Can you make a video game with transitions with the money as your previously responded to my comment . I need it to teach what we call use of devices in there speaking assessments. Thanks Val
Thanks a lot for this useful & interesting video. I'd like to ask you Mr Val to make a video showing us the different learning strategies that any teacher should be aware of to be ready for any job interview. In fact I work with my own ideas ; I prepare for the lesson and think about suitable techniques to get the ideas across but I never know the academic names of learning strategies. Can you help me , Mr Val, please?
Great suggestion! I will have a live stream dedicated to the job interview questions soon. :))
@@Teacher-Val
Thanks for your quick response.
It is wonderful thanks so much would you explain how to teach writing for kids
Thank you! Teaching writing is definitely on my list.
Thanks
I think also we can use this word web in teaching Arabic
Yes, of course! I am sure it will work just as well!
Nice speaking practice! 😊
Thank you Val for discovering the name of Lev Vygodsky for me as a native Russian speaker ❤️
Thank you!
This also (after some modification) doubles as a great way to introduce new kanji to students learning Japanese!
That's awesome! So glad it helps you with your classes!
Hello,teacher can you please suggest a play to act for me to students of middle school, thanks in advance
Hello! A play to act? What do you mean? A dramatic play?
@@Teacher-Val teacher I want a Play has moral lessons to act and get those morals
Quite interesting
Thanks!
Val you are ValID
Haha. Good one, Mr Peacenik! I was thinking of the anagrams of Nik, and all I could come up with was 'kin' and 'ink' which makes you the kin of ink. It has a noble and literary sound to it. You are a master of words!! :)
@@Teacher-Val happy, pleasure, excitement 😍
Hello, Teacher val can you make a sample activity for the alphabet topic?
In my store there is a PowerPoint presentation with sounds on phonics alphabet. It features 26 letters with a picture and pre-recorded sound for each letter. It is designed to help children learn the sounds of the letters in the English alphabet. The last slide in this presentation contains a link to the phonics song featuring the same words as in this ppt.

I don't teach history but a good friend of mine is a history teacher and he is going to start his own channel soon. When he does, I will come back here and leave a link to his channel.
Strasnica lectie profesore!kip goin^:)
Where are you from? What language is this? It sounds like Croatian or Romanian. I understand "lectie" and "profesore" (lesson and teacher) but I am not sure about "strasnica". :))
Thank you very much, Marius!

@@Yacoba_Israel Aww, thank you very much! I am flattered. ❤
thank you . may you add subtitle .
You can turn on the subtitles by clicking on the CC icon at the bottom of this video.
@@Teacher-Val 第一次看到你的视频是在B站（一个月以前），然后今天在油管刷到了你视频，本以为你只是纯英语教学的，发现你居然会写汉字，厉害了。
@@liuhegong 谢谢您！谁把我的视频发到了B站上？ 我没有同意。
it's not for primary and not even secondary... it's even too much for me!
In this video, I explained the concept, but you can adapt it to the level you are teaching. :)
I'm teaching Arabic speakers they have problem with pronunciation
Include a few phonics elements in your class. It will help.
WARM UP ??? Sorry, but this is a Class Killer
Haha. How is this a class killer? :))
@@Teacher-Val Hi Val, you are the expert, ive been teaching kids only 3 months; BUT my opinion: (1) draw Big smiley face on board, (2) draw a vertical line, (3) ALONG LINE, write HAPPY half way; Above: very happy, and top: bliss. Below: sad, bottom: cry. (4) depend class small or big, design activity: teacher show MANY pictures (b-day cake, Disneyland, rainy cloud, baby elephant fall in a hole) and students rank them on the ”happy-ometer”
@@kevtherev8194 Sounds like a great warm-up for the little ones. Word webs, however, are aimed at the higher level students.
