Thanks for your replies.

I agree that incidental vocabulary is a trickier thing but I think that you can anticipate (to some extent) which words your class will not understand and prepare some explanations or concept questions etc.

For the planned vocabulary, I agree with chokosaki and pre-teaching is a good way to handle this but how do you pre-teach the words? Eliciting the meaning, modelling the pronunciation and then showing the form? This is what I try to do but sometimes it can be quite time consuming and teacher centred. Are there any other ways to do this in a more student-centred way?
