The combination of Cummin's (1981) language and content activities model with Nation (2008) vocabulary teaching strategy were used as framework for the study. In order to collect data, a total of 10 pre-school teachers of various teaching experience in Matu Daro were observed and interviewed. The interview was primarily to elicit how they prepared for their lesson whereas interview [part 2] was used to support classroom observation. The data were analyzed descriptively.
