Do you want to expand your English vocabulary and improve your writing and speaking skills?
Are you in the process of writing a quality essay, report, or your university assignments?
Do you really need to succeed in IELTS, PTE, and TOEFL?
If your answer is yes, you can confidently keep reading. It is, arguably, believed and most of us would agree that merely memorizing English words is by no means the best way to expand our vocabulary because this can only lead to expanding our passive vocabulary. Passive vocabulary is the words that can be remembered or understood but cannot correctly and confidently be used in a daily and face-to-face conversation or a written paper. It is, however, our active vocabulary that makes us stand out from the rest amongst other learners. With this, it should be explained what exactly active vocabulary is. It consists of those words that we can correctly and confidently use for our daily communications with others without a need to search them in a dictionary. To enrich our active vocabulary and deeper understanding of new words and the words we know but we cannot use them confidently, we can take the following approaches into account.
- Have your customizable dictionary
- Learn the context, connotation, and the denotation of a word
- Study and read frequently to commit the new words we encounter into memory
