Another posting about vocabulary ...with this one just to let you know that I've now started an open group at
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/wordsurfing/
The forum asks:
* Are long-term vocabulary development strategies ineffective?
* or are students simply unaware of suitable opportunities to independently improve in this vital area?
The aim is to provide an opportunity to focus on vocabulary development - and openly discuss the extent to which "organized notebooks" such as "Word Surfing" might contribute to overall language learning enjoyment and efficiency.
Any other positive suggestions to help language learners with their vocabulary development are, of course, most welcome.
Best Wishes
Will
