Word Surfing

[will mcculloch]

Hello

This is just a short note ( to teachers and others interested in language development ) to let you know about Word Surfing, a concept that encourages students to use vocabulary learning techniques together with well-organized and personal notebooks. Sample pages from such a book can be printed out at

http://www.wordsurfing.co.uk/index2.html

Hopefully you will find the concept interesting - and would like to have it available to your students. It seems that most of them need a motivating and useful resource to help them with their vocabulary development. Word Surfing simply aims to offer one such opportunity.

I've recently put the idea on a website, and am now sending e-mails to people such as yourself. By the way, I'm also looking for new contributors at the moment, so if anyone would like to -

i) have their own vocabulary learning tips put on the site.

ii) submit an article on pronunciation, dictionary use, learner autonomy or motivation.

iii) make any other comments/suggestions


... I'd be very glad to hear from them. Any other comments or suggestions would also be really appreciated - as would feedback from students who are using the idea.

Thanks for your time.

Best wishes.



Will McCulloch
