Vocabulary Language Analysis Sheet
Complete this, as far as you can, for vocabulary-based lessons or skills-based lessons where
there is a clear vocabulary component.
Lexical area
(e.g. adjectives of personality, phrasal verbs for stages of a relationship, a group of words in a
reading/listening text):
Context (the situation - Who? Where? When? in which the language is used, and the sort of
reading or listening text in which it is contained, if a text is being used)
Lexical sets / word lists
(Planned or predicted items. Reference to coursebook, handouts, etc., if appropriate)
Focus on meaning
(How you will show / check meaning e.g. labelling pictures, concept questions, dictionary check
etc. Include specific items if appropriate.)
Focus on pronunciation
(phonemic transcription of problematic items if appropriate.)
Written record
(how students will have a clear record of items, if appropriate, with meaning. e.g. labelled diagram,
matching item/definition handout, copied whiteboard list etc., if on whiteboard, include a plan in
your lesson)
Anticipated problems with solutions
(possible difficulties with meaning and/or form e.g. adjective order - clear table with headings)
