Language in abundance for beginners

Learners get very frustrated when they have knowledge of topics/words/concepts but cannot explain them to others or put it in writing.

An effective way to build learner confidence and encourage "language in abundance" is to:

-start with subject-specific vocabulary and get learners to find the meanings of words in the context of the subject. In a subject like mathematics, learners also find an appropriate image as another way to reinforce subject-specific words.

-look for every opportunity to use the language in abundance during both teaching and learning or in conversation so that language in abundance is modelled at every opportunity and learner thinking is detailed and clear.
