Versatile Vocabulary: Games for Enhancing Vocabulary (Study Book)
Versatile Vocabulary has been specially created to encourage students, through games, to use vocabulary in a variety of ways: defining words, using words in sentences, spelling words, acting out words, changing word forms and generating new words. The vocabulary has been carefully chosen from various concordances of the most frequently used words. It is vocabulary that ESL/EFL students need to know, and for most of the games, templates have been provided that allow teachers to customize games to practise their own target vocabulary.
Building Vocabulary from Word Roots helps students unlock the meaning of over 60% of the words they encounter in the classroom and beyond with a systematic approach to teaching vocabulary using Greek and Latin prefixes, bases, and suffixes. Students are introduced to one new root per lesson with daily activities to ensure that they learn the root and the many English words it generates, and learn strategies for deciphering words and their meaning across all content areas.
