2. INTRODUCTION
Happy people are most innovative and productive. Creativity may be defined as the ability or capacity of a person to discover and explore new areas to create a new process, including the re-arrangement or re- shaping of what already exists. Creativity to the artist is the ability to evolve new approaches, forms and new materials. To the scientist creativity is the ability to explore and discover dynamic methods of teaching-learning.
Here I try to demonstrate the words and meanings and its picture through an innovative method. I hope that it is very useful to the students. A word and its meaning are inseparable like the two sides of the coin. In our English teaching vocabulary consumes a considerable amount of time and there is hardly any English class without having to teach at least a few new items of vocabulary. Because without vocabulary enrichment there is little language learning. Structures of language are constituted by vocabulary.
The present material is titled as “A Learning Aid for Teaching Vocabulary.” The present material helps to learn vocabulary easily. This type of learning helps to remember the words for ever. Learning more words can and must be a pleasurable activity. With the help of this new aid for teaching vocabulary, one can learn more vocabulary. A new
3. method for teaching vocabulary is here adopted. With the help of pictures, teaching and learning new words become easy.
The main purpose of “A Learning Aid for Teaching Vocabulary” is to teach the difficult words exist in standard Vlll text book. Here I determined to find another way to teach vocabulary to the students. This work consists of two parts. The first part is for teaching and the second part is for detecting their understanding. The materials used for this work are, pictures, words, meanings, a rounded card with two windows, for hiding the meanings and a hole to exhibit the pictures. A thread which makes the movement of rounded card easier and an arrow shows the direction.
“A Learning Aid for Teaching Vocabulary” is a bundle of some sheets with some pictures, words and meanings. A rounded sheet with two or three windows and hole is joined above it by using a thread on the middle portion. There is also given the correct direction to rotate the rounded sheet.
4. PROCESS: The present material is placed on a table. Teacher shows the starting point and is given the following instructions. Then teacher taught the meaning of the word after showing the picture. Teacher first shows the picture and asks the pupils to identify the picture. If they can’t teacher opens the window which shows the word and asks the pupils to read aloud. Then the teacher opens the window which hides the meaning and gave the meaning to them. Then teacher rotates the rounded sheet and repeats the process till the mark comes. Then the teacher goes to the next sheet.
5. CONCLUSION
This work helps to create interest in students and help the teacher to teach the vocabulary more easily. This material helps pupil to remember the words easily and their meaning, because pictures are used here as a learning material. It will help the students to make the vocabulary as a part of their active vocabulary. It will also help the students to store the vocabulary in their memory for a long time.
