Suggested Answer Key
A: Have you got any ideas about the best ways to teach scientific language to students?
B: Hmmm, well, I think that playing memory games might help, owing to the fact that it will help them remember more vocabulary. In fact, it’s probably the way I find most effective.
A: I agree. I feel that using picture dictionaries is very effective too, due to the fact that it helps visual learners to learn words more easily.
B: I respect your point, but I think that maybe it’s better to use props to help students grasp new vocabulary.
A: That’s a good idea, but it could be expensive. I strongly believe that teaching students scientific prefixes and suffixes could really help them to recognise and understand a whole range of terms.
B: I agree that teaching them the roots of scientific words would be helpful too. Maybe it’s better to teach the students how to understand scientific words rather than teaching keywords one by one.
A: I definitely agree.
