Before class… Questions we often ponder Vocabulary learning What are the common words (常见词)and their common uses(常见用法)? How about the collocation(搭配) of a word? What are the probable collocates (可能搭配)of a word? What is the semantic preference（语义上的选择，情感上的倾向等） of a word? Before class… Specific questions for classroom teaching How many words are used in a text (or a collection of texts), and how often? How long are those words, sentences, and paragraphs? What are the most common words in a text? How much vocabulary is needed to read a specific text? How many words do the students already know，how many they may not know, and how many words are not on the list specified in a syllabus? How to determine the difficulty level of a text compared with a textbook material? What are those words that the students frequently used in their writings? In class… How can I paraphrase a word, a sentence, and even a whole text? How should I look for the instances of a word or a phrase in the similar context? How should I design exercises, quizzes, and other follow-up activities based the real language data? How should I deal with grammar, lexis and patterns? How should I know which words are unique to a particular text? After class… Assessing learning What are the typical problems encountering our learners? Grammar Use of word Use of idioms and collocations Use of patterns Spoken and written discourse translation Learning development What factors contribute to our learners’ proficiency? Are there any development stages?
