HOW SUCCESFUL AM I AT REMEMBERING VOCABULARY?
I had to read an article to make this post and that article was a bit long so:...
Now I already know the importance of learn new vobulary and have a vocabulary retention. I can't just have the knowledges of grammar.
The writer said that it is imporant to use vocabulary in a significant way. He made a investigation where he compared 3 points:
Cloze exercise
Sentence writing
Composition writing
The strategy who won was composition writing. But why? learn in groups? it could be. it all depends of cognitive processes of the person. In this way the experiment shows how the participants doing the composition task had to structure new information in a meaningful way in order to produce coherent piece of writing. To that effect they had to relate the new words to each other as well as the chosen macro-context. And that's what we have to do sometimes. We need to think in link our previous knowledges with the new information. In that way we can remember easier the meaning of something. speciafially, new vocabulary.
Personally I think I'm good remembering new vocabulary. I know because I understand readings more completly and I like that. And if there is a word I don't know I try to catch it by the context of the reading. I can remember words easier if I can write (for exmaple now, writing this) but when I speak the words escape of my mind and...well...I have to work on it. But I know I can. hehe.
