Dear peers,
The study of vocabulary in discourse concerned with hyponyms and general superordinates,page66, is an effective way for learners to organize their thoughts. Letīs take as an example the use of mind maps or networds. Students are invited to write their ideas on a suggested topic: money health,the invironment;using associated words with each topic - health ( superordinate ) doctor,appointment, habits, exercise ( hyponyms ).They are encouraged to work out their own maps.Based on a general idea they will get some specific ideas. Itīs really a useful strategy for helping learners clarify their thoughts and develop the abi lity to express themselves in English, showing cohesion and practicing reiteration.What do you thing about?
