Teaching vocabulary is something that every teacher does in all of their classes each and every day. Indeed, we all have our go-to activities in our “bag of tricks” that we use to teach vocabulary in our classes. In this interactive workshop, we will look at expanding this “bag of tricks” by identifying further activities and various tips for effectively teaching vocabulary, using the Cambridge Open World books as a reference example.
