Why not we explicitly focus on learning vocabulary? We as teacher candidate prepare specific vocabulary activities for the class so that we increase their vocabulary capacity. The more they learn new words and get habit to use them in their lives the better they can adjust their use of vocabulary in an appropriate way.

I would use the words suh as " moblie, technology, affect, university, academy, students, culture, research, educate, grow and etc . These words were used in the artcle that I have chosen for pre-intermediate class to teach. The reason why I chose these specific words in the text is I believe that they will help my students a lot to understand the text without starting reading it.
