Introduction to English Vocabulary Learning

In the initial section, the focus is on introducing new words. Each section concludes with a narrative incorporating the target words. Learners are encouraged to associate the meanings of the words with the context of the story, thus enhancing their understanding.

Visual Aids for Word Comprehension

Illustrations are provided for each target word to aid learners in visualizing the word in the context of example sentences. These visual associations are intended to assist students in grasping and recalling the word's meaning.

Focus on English Grammar

It is important to note that words can belong to more than one grammatical category. However, this course emphasizes the most common form of each word, as it aims to familiarize English language learners with the predominant expression of each word.

Balanced English Language Learning

An effective English language course offers opportunities for learning through input, output, deliberate English learning, and improve English fluency development. The structured activities in this course cater to all these learning opportunities.

  • Create English vocabulary cards with the word on one side and its translation in the student’s first language on the other. These cards can be used for quick study during free moments, proving to be more effective than lengthy study sessions.
