• Tips to understand new words in context and fix their meanings

1. Sound the word out several times.


2. Examine the structure of the word (root, prefix, suffix – how do they
shape the root meaning?)
3. Look at the context (is it a verb, an adjective, a noun, … ?)
4. Then, chek out the meaning in a dictionary.
5. Reinforce the meaning by writing a usable brief definition of the
word or writing sentences.
6. Reinforce the meaning of the new words using synonyms.
7. Relate the word with others (word family - phoneme, grapheme,
meaning).

Here are some other brief suggestions that may boost vocabulary learning from extensive reading.

1.Before reading a text, the learner quickly skims it.

2.While reading the learner can collect new words that are repeated in the text to put on word cards for

later deliberate study.

3.A more formal follow up to this is for learners to report to the class

on a word that they met while reading - explaining what it means,

how it was used in the text, its word parts, its etymology, and any

unusual features about it.

4.The use of a dictionary while reading should also have positive

effects (Knight, 1994), although this tends to increase the time it

takes to read a text (Hulstijn, 1993).
