How to develop student's vocabulary
Source
Hello guys,it's been a while,I hope you are all doing good and fine.welcome to my blog,today we will be discussing on vocabulary development in student.firstly what do we mean by the term vocabulary?!.it simply refers to the body of words or term used in a particular language.
Vocabulary exists in our long-term memory. The means of learning a new word is first to notice and enter it into short-term memory and
then to work with in ways that will make it part of the lexicon stored in long-term memory. Sophisticated readers constantly add strange words to their vocabularies, but they have been developing their vocabularies over many decades.
These people have learned powerful strategies for noticing important new words
and deriving their meaning in their various languages.
You cannot expect less sophisticated readers, and certainly not hardworking readers, to pick up all their vocabulary from content as they
read or even when they hear texts read aloud.
Along with having students read lots of texts, you can use some simple methods and techniques to help them learn the meaning of words:
Here are some of the ways to develop
vocabulary.
###Introduce them to a wide range of words in interesting texts and books
###Make sure they come across a new word oftentimes all the times.
###Make sure they encounter a new word in many contexts and excercises
###Provide explicit vocabulary instruction related to each text they read.
###Discuss word meanings with them and mode of usage in speech
###Teach them how to recognize the important words in a text or passages
###Help them detect and use meaningful morphemes(word parts in longer words).
##$Teach them to use context to derive the meanings of new or strangewords.
###Teach them to use the dictionary or glossary as an instrument to verifying meaning of words or texts
###Help them integrate previously known knowledge with new ones as they meet them in in text books.
###Help them use new words in discussion and in writing.
###learn to make connections between words to understand their meaning.
###learn to understand words that are used figuratively.
###Try develop deliberate strategies for leaning texts.
I think with this few points a student would be able to develop a sound vocabulary.thanks for reading,my great salutations to the admins and also other members of the community.
