The thing I found most interesting about this chapter was that it said that teachers should not give every student the same vocabulary to study. Students progress at different rates and should not be given the same vocabulary. Students will compare with each other's list and see what words were assigned, and it is the teacher's responsibility to inform the students that each one of them progresses at a different rate. Teachers should be looking for put-downs and put a stop to them quickly.
I never thought about giving a vocabulary list based on the student's level of development. When I was in elementary and junior-high school, teachers always gave students the same words. They probably did this because they were too lazy to make more than one test. I think that this way of teaching vocabulary will help students and teach them at the level they need to be taught. If I become a English teacher, I will definitely use this method of teaching vocabulary.
