Before learning or
acquiring any kind of language first we have to know about its vocabulary to
understand the meaning of its sentences. Without knowing the meanings of the
word we cannot assume or produce any sentence in any language. In my blog I’ll basically focus on English
language so in this writing I am going to give some web links for learning and
practicing English vocabulary.
There are several
methods we can follow for learning vocabulary such as by memorizing, guessing
or with phrase practicing. Moreover we can also use our modern devices for
learning or practicing our vocabulary skill. We can use software and so many
websites for enrich our vocabulary skill. There are some links has given bellow:
Level: High Intermediate to Advance.
In this site
students can register for free then take placement tests. If anyone chooses
multiple choice placement tests then they can hear the pronunciation of the
word which they have to find the synonym. If someone doesn’t know the meaning
then they can also guess the meaning by reading the sentence .Their level will
be determined by the correct number and the time spent. It has the power to
make students aware as its showing the scores at the end, that’s why students
will be more care full to make correct answer.
They claim that
their levels(C-f) is suitable for TOEFL
test preparation .For less proficient learners, there is also some levels which
include with most frequent English words.
Though it’s very
helpful software it will not be fully accessible without purchased. It’s
actually for practicing not teaching vocabulary directly. The things I don’t like
is it’s not provide the correct answer so students just know that answer is
wrong rather the correct answer.
Level: Beginning to Advance.
It’s a very helpful
site with a huge range of vocabulary. We can find so many options and level
here. If any student wants to illustrate then the student first clicks on the
word level in the upper left portion of the screen. The student can click on a
word if they want to hear the sound. Any word’s dictionary definition will be shown
if it’s being written in to “Quick Look-up” on the home page. We can also hear
the pronunciation by downloading a specific speech plug-in. We can also find a
word’s examples with sentences which is very helpful for teachers. This is a
very tiptop site for both students and teachers.
Though it’s a bit complex
site but we will be access it easily after some tries. Then you will find it
very helpful for you.
Level: Intermediate to Advance.
All the words are
here are targeted from TOEFL, SAT, GMAT, GRE, and VOA Special English. For word
sound student have to click phonetic transcription. As illustrated in the left
hand column, this program provides students with seven types of interactive
vocabulary exercises in three areas- study, test and game. Student work with sound,
spelling and meaning. Student can use it according to their needs to practices
of SAT Vocabulary, TOEFL Vocabulary, GRE Vocabulary, GMAT Vocabulary and VOA
Special English.
Above all the sites
will be very helpful for a student if they try from themselves and practices
for improving their skill. Though these are more testing sites rather learning.
We know practice makes a man perfect so you will find along with you when you
want to practice you vocabulary skills. Best of luck J
