The information that is presented in this blog is very useful for many people. The tone that the author used is very personal, she knows how the explain in a simple way complex things.

Vocabulary: Tips


VOCABULARY FOR CHILDREN - TIPS



  • When teachers present new words they can include them into sentences: so that students will get the meaning of the word according to the use that they can remember.

  • Teachers can correct mistakes in order to avoid getting a wrong meaning and in the future.

  • Make groups of based on words’ categories. In life, people tend to organize things in this way and they will remember the words by relating them to their similar.

Vocabulary.. Is it important?


Is vocabulary an important aspect in people’s life? Well, for us it is. When someone is learning a foreign language vocabulary is the base of it. Through separate words, we can create different sentences as we learn other structures. Also, vocabulary is the most important tool that is used in any place. In this case, our choice is because we really want to improve students’ vocabulary.

Vocabulary Webquest

Remember that at the tiem that we use a webquest, we should take into account a specific evaluation:
First of all, this is a web page in which can be found many ways that can teach vocabulary for kids. At the same time, they will play through they learn. We can take some words that are the most common ones at our target age (between 7 to 10 years).
For me, this webquest is very well-done because it has all the required parts that students need to follow to complete their project. It has all the parts that were presented in
www.webquest.org and they are very clear at the time that is explaining exactly what students should do.
