Working with vocabulary!!!

How To Improve Your Vocabulary! well, I found this great site called About.com: English as 2nd Language. They suggest several techniques to improve our vocabulary .. mmm.. I thought we could use some of those great ideas in class, so here I will write about some of the ones we'll be working with in class or for homework.

1. Vocabulary Charts place vocabulary in connected categories to help "long term" memorization. This is a printable vocabulary chart to help you create in-class vocabulary charts.

Example of a vocabulary chart

 2. Learn Collocations: Collocations refer to words that often or always go together. A good example of a collocation is to do your homework. These lists of important verb + noun collocations will help your learn some of the most important.

Now,  match these words and make collocations:
Verbs:                                              Nouns:
Take      Have      Break                   a break    a leg  a headache

Write your answers in the comment area.... smiles...

3. Making a wordle  "word cloud": According to Wordle..... It is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Like this collocations with the word Motivation:
