Common misconception
When revisiting vocabulary using the Leitner system, we need to revise all the words in the different boxes every day.
When learning vocabulary using the Leitner system, we use 4 boxes with words: words that need to be revised daily, words that need to be revised every 3 days, weekly and monthly.
Teacher tip
The teacher might want to show how the Leitner system works live in the classroom by bringing four boxes and having some flashcards ready.
Equipment
Students will need material to make their own flashcards. For activity B2b, students will need a copy of the text.
