BASIC VOCABULARIES ABOUT THINGS IN THE CLASSROOM

When teaching at Elementary school, especially the first and the second grade, the important vocabularies they must master are things in the classroom. After learning numbers, alphabet, usually these two grades should know the classroom vocabularies.  The approach of the teaching learning process at the elmentary school is a contextual learning. Students learn many things around the classroom they live in. They can show and pronounce many things in the classroom. The things are real in the classroom.  The teacher can use the exact method in giving the students new vocabularies in the classroom. He can use a song relating to the material learning, he can play a game that encourages the students to obtain new vocabularies, or he can use some related flashcards and so on.
