I agree with Cristina. I really like the ppt.

To me, vocabulary is the most important idem we should teach to our sts. Without words, there is no communication. Some approaches allow this to happen (lexical app, discouse app) more than others. however, it depends a lot on the teacher to know the right moment to give sts vocabulary and work with lexical groups, strong collocations, fixed expressions and so on...

I liked the example of route X ways. We teach vocab based on synonyms the most. Sts must be aware when to use them and how. They complain a lot about forgeting the vocab, this will depend on them and their practice.

The grammar x vocab part called my attention too. They "have to" be taught together. Sts must know where and when to use that specific word (plural; singular; formal; informal)
