Vocabulary Learning Tips:
1.) Read,
Read, Read.
Most vocabulary words are learned from
context. The more words
you're exposed to, the better vocabulary you
will have. While you read, pay close
attention to words you don't know. First,
try to figure out their meanings from context.
Then look the words up. Read and listen to
challenging material so that you'll be
exposed to many new words. Read English
newspapers, college textbooks, and magazines
on a regular basis. When you come across an
unknown word, write it down in a notebook.
Use a good learner's dictionary to find the
definition and write it in the notebook
along with any derivations (i.e.: other
words formed from the same root) and the
part of speech (e.g.: noun). Try to use the
word in an example sentence. Then write the
new word on one side of a 5" x 7" index
card, and the definition on the other side.
Try to make 7-10 flash cards per day, and
group them into categories (e.g.: biology,
government, law, geography, history, etc.).
Review them frequently. If you can learn 10
new words a day, that's 300 new words a
month!
2.)
Improve your context skills.
Research shows that the vast majority of
words are learned
from context. To improve your context
skills, pay close attention to how words are
used. Doing a search on a word will give you
many examples of how that word is used in
context.
3.)
Practice, practice, practice.
Learning a word won’t help very much if you promptly
forget it. Research shows that it takes from
10 to 20 repetitions to really make a
word part of your vocabulary. It really
helps to write the word - both the
definition and a sentence you make up using
the word - in a notebook or on an index card
that can later be reviewed. As soon as you
learn a new word, start using it. Also, do a
search on a word to get a lot of examples of
how the word is actually used.
