Teacher chooses two pupils and calls them to the front. Then give commands randomly related to the game and reward the quickest correct action with applause by the class. The following description illustrates this activity: The teacher turn on WEB-application which shows different pictures and the pupils are expected to show this word by actions. The quickest pupil to show wins a point and is applauded by the class. The teacher names other picture from the game, and again the pupil who is quickest to do the appropriate action gets a point.
This game becomes even more fun if the teacher lets the pupils in the class give the commands. Besides, if pupils "take over” in this way, the activity is not always centered on the teacher, and consequently there is more room for pupil practice.
The same game may be played as a whole class as well. The teacher randomly gives commands, saying the word shown in the Internet and any pupil to do an incorrect action is taken out of the game. The last remaining pupil is announced as the winner.
Conclusion
Completing put objectives of the research, we have got their aims. Gaining vocabulary is obviously an essential part of a learning a language. There are several important parts of this learning process:
1. Listening Carefully
2. Pronouncing the Words
3. Dramatization
All this actions may be produced with the help of Internet Tools. The Internet is a vast environment in which language is used in many ways. It provides linguists with many possibilities for study. show that online language has its benefits for encouraging creativity and interest in writing. Therefore, the thought that the Internet is beneficial for language learning is gaining support.
In the theoretical part, observing research-based principles of vocabulary instruction we have analyzed linguists' consideration about the concept of the relationship between technology and language. Scientists studied upper secondary pupils' motivation in relation to learning English in the Internet. Aim was to chart how the Internet affected young people's motivation, skills and attitudes towards learning English. The results showed that over 80% felt motivated to learn English. All in all, young people view learning through the use of Internet positively.
Analyzing methods that use Internet resources to engage pupils in vocabulary learning we have found ten strategies of teaching English Vocabulary to primary school children:
1. Learn from visual displays of word relationships within text
2. Take a digital vocabulary field trip
3. Connect fun and learning with online vocabulary games
4. Have students use media to express vocabulary knowledge
5. Take advantage of online word reference tools that are also teaching tools
6. Support reading and word learning with just-in-time vocabulary reference support
7. Use language translators to provide just-in-time help for ELLs
8. Increase reading volume by reading digital text
9. Increase reading volume by listening to digital text with a text-to-speech tool and audio books
10. Combine vocabulary learning and social service
Including visual support for the word meaning, seeing it used in context, hearing it spoken and, ideally, having the learner speak it and get feedback on the pronunciation (either by a listener or by having the learner hear him/herself via a recording). These recommendations to improve vocabulary by encouraging wide reading, teaching words and word learning strategies, and promoting active learning and interest in words are very interesting.
We have analyzed the examples of vocabulary learning strategies available on the Internet during the lesson through teachers' experiences in the practical part of the research. We have given beneficial methods of teaching English vocabulary and proved it in the lesson plan examples. In the first chapter of the research, we observed some techniques of teaching English vocabulary using free Web application - Wordle. In the second chapter, we have given an example of teaching vocabulary by playing Online-games which is attempted to improve different language skills.
The purpose of this paper is to encourage teachers to apply these research-based recommendations in new ways, using digital tools, media, and the possibilities of Internet - that is, to deploy technology in service of vocabulary learning. It is evident that online tools play key roles in the implementation of Internet-based language learning.
Effectiveness of using online activities and a browser-based virtual world in teaching is proved. Technology, when used flexibly in response to pupils' varied needs and interests, can and should be part of the solution to the vocabulary gap. It's a fun way for English Language Learners to build and reinforce vocabulary.
