Using Dictionaries by Tarun Patel
Try to give the students each an English-English dictionary.
Make sure they know how to use it. If not, teach them how.
Encourage them to refer to their dictionary whenever appropriate during the lesson, though they should try to guess the meaning from the context first where possible.
In the classroom as well outside the class, Dictionaries make students more independent – not relying on the teacher the whole time – and more able to study outside the classroom, at home, or whatever, and to continue studying after the course has finished.
Also this helps them enrich their vocabulary slowly and gradually.
