 Re: Learning Vocabulary
I think it's also important to keep the vocabulary related to a theme. . . it allows a 'free' discussion of a topic that will re-enforce the theme. I did a whole unit on election, vote, elector college, etc. when the elections were in full swing in the U.S. My German students were following the election in the U.S., but didn't have the vocabulary to discuss it.
Given a chance, they took off!! (Of course, this can backfire. My company now has mandatory units on things the students are seldom interested in.)
