RE: 5 tips on how to learn vocabulary (in any language) [repost]
I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I am also an ESL teacher in South Korea. It's really funny when I tell my students that less is more. Everyday they have to memorize 30 words for their vocabulary test. Just straight memorization. No use in a sentence or anything like that. So robotic and unnatural. Good post. Everyone is a different learner but straight memorization is not ideal for language acquisition. Good post
Rote memory - Aagh! I am glad to hear from others who understand the value of context.
Hey fellow E teacher! follow me as I will be posting lessons :)
definitely not! some context would be good :)
