Read selected words from both lists. Students should remember if this is British or American English. If it’s British English, they walk to the right. If it’s American English, they move to the left. If your class is big, ask 7 students to come to the front (10 words), and then another group (10 words) etc.","cbCaimTpdxJMKK0G","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimTpdxJMKK0G","pdf",147166,"English","# Vocabulary comparison\n## Words with different meanings\n## Same words with different spelling\n## Teacher activities and follow-up","[{\"question\":\"What does the vocabulary material help students learn?\",\"answer\":\"It helps students recognize British versus American English vocabulary, including words that differ in meaning and words that have different spellings.\"},{\"question\":\"How can teachers use it before a workshop?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers can use it as an introduction to spark interest and pre-teach the vocabulary by giving students the lists and the task.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the classroom activity conducted after students complete the exercise?\",\"answer\":\"Students stand at the front; the teacher reads selected words from both lists, and students move right for British English and left for American English.\"}]","British and American English Vocabulary - Learning Word Meanings and Spellings | PDF",1790579255]
