Will you pre-teach the vocabulary? How?

Warm-up
Students watch a short 1-minute video about the UK: it may show its nature, city life, royal family and so on (I would represent listening content through a video, I would simply give instructions to watch the video and guess the topic)), then they try to guess their themes. Once they found out the theme, teacher asks each student to tell at least one fact about the UK. (This would broaden their horizons about the UK and improve their speaking skills (real-life usage)).
Pre-teaching vocabulary
I would distribute students sheets of paper with sentences containing new words. Such as: Uzbekistan is bordered by Tadzhikistan to the north.
Students should understand the meaning of unfamiliar words and tell them. Then they would write the definitions of correct answers.
