Abstract:
"Do My Students Really Know What I've Just Taught?"
Comprehension checking, by definition, is confirming a student's understanding or knowledge of a language item without asking, "Do you understand?" Instead, the teacher employs a variety of techniques, which induce students to produce evidence of this understanding. This presentation deals with the skill of comprehension checking as it relates to the teaching and learning of vocabulary. The presenter will provide teachers with a variety of useful comprehension checking devices they can use in the classroom.
