What are the ways to present new vocabulary in a reading comprehension cl?

To be upfront, I have no experience with EFL so please take that into consideration. I believe that the best way to present new vocabulary will probably depend on whether the reading is being done in cl or independently, and on the fluency level of the students. In cl, I would guide the students, stopping at words that might present a problem, and have them try to figure out the meaning based on the context in which it is used. If reading is done independently you could give them a list of vocabulary and definitions ahead of time. A dictionary could be used to see if they can use previously learned words to figure out the definitions of the new ones. Also, dissecting a word can sometimes give clues to the meaning. For example, if they know that therm- means heat, they will be able to figure out what thermal blanket or thermometer means more easily. I hope that someone with actual EFL experience can weigh in to give you some more ideas. Good luck!
