Sponsored Links

Here are some tips for learning Vocabulary for speaking or writing. You may already have your own method that works well for you. If so, that’s great- stick with it. If not you may like to try one of these.

  • Read or listen to as much as you can
  • Find lots of examples on how the words that you want to use are used in context. Learning common combination of words will help you in speaking and writing.
  • Read or listen to lot of material on one topic. This helps you quickly become familiar with vocabulary on that topic. . Fr example for listening you can :

a) Interview a number of advanced/fluent speakers for one or two minutes each on the same topic and record each conversation

b) Follow a major story on the radio or the TV over a period of time.

c) Only listen to certain type of News story

d) Use diagrams to make connections between words that are associated together

e) Use diagrams to make connections between words that are associated together

f) Put the word you are learning into a sentence about you or what interests you at the moment

g) Ask an advance speaker of English to check that your sentences are appropriate

  • Practice speaking or writing as much as possible
  • Decide which words are worth learning
  • Organize your vocabulary learning

Evaluating your Progress:

  • Keep records of your writing and speaking
  • Keep a diary as you learn. Write down your feelings and comments on your progress as you go
  • Ask a fluent or advanced speaker or writer of English to check your speaking/writing

These are tested and proved methods of learning vocabulary. Unless and until you are passionate about it you will not see positive results. Try practicing them and you will see adding new words to your vocabulary at a very fast pace.

    ya the method here is good but not the best. At the time of test you will not be given any diagram so that you could remember the word..and there are lots of words nearly about 5000 so this method is absurd..!!..rather go into deep and learn the entymology of words..learn roots learn how the words are formed. After doing this if at the time of examiation if u’ll be encountered with a new word to which you are not familiar enough you could use your brain and break the word into roots and can find the meaning of it..!!!!
