BUILDING A BETTER VOCABULARY

A. Lesson Title: Vocabulary Building

B. Lesson Description:

If you learn a lot of vocabulary words, you eventually start using them. Having a wide range of vocabulary will not only help you to express yourself better but also you will look and sound like an intellectual individual. It will help you get better jobs, get into good colleges, earn respect from your classmates, etc. It seems like junk to learn, but it really is good for you. This lesson will help you expand your vocabulary.

C. Learning Outcome:
At the end of the lesson you are expected to:

identify the meaning of the word through context clues.

name the different ways of getting meaning through context clues.

D. Learning Presentation:

Learning Object 1 -

At least half of the words in the English language are derived from Greek and Latin roots. Knowing these roots helps us to grasp the meaning of words before we look them up in the dictionary. It also helps us to see how words are often arranged in families with similar characteristics. To know more about how to build your vocabulary, please click here.


Learning Object 2 -

Adding affixes to existing words (the base or root) to form new words is common in academic English. Prefixes are added to the front of the base (like dislike), whereas suffixes are added to the end of the base (active activate). Prefixes usually do not change the class of the base word, but suffixes usually do change the class of the word.

E: Learning Activity:

Activity 1 -

Context clues are words and phrases in a sentence which help you reason out the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Oftentimes you can figure out the meanings of new or unfamiliar vocabulary by paying attention to the surrounding language.
