Whole world runs on communication and people are connected with each other through words. Vocabulary helps a person to express his/her feelings and thoughts. When the vocabulary of a child is expanded then he or she is able to attain knowledge and information beyond his/her imagination. Academic growth of a child is directly related to the growth of vocabulary of the child. Vocabulary level of a child in school demonstrates his or her rate of learning. Parents and teachers often don’t care but kids also need language efficiency to express what they are going through and what they want to say to their parents and elders.
These days every school management is very focused on enhancing such an important part of the academic life of the student. It is a perception of almost every school management that students need to know ample number words to communicate and get proper knowledge and information from their tutors and peer group also. Students also need ample number of words in their vocabulary in order to ask their doubts properly to the tutors whether they study offline or through any online classes app.
An online classes app is a way to teach students all those things which they are unable to ask in the classroom but in this medium to acquire knowledge students need to have a good level of vocabulary because when a student use education apps to study then he is self-dependent and he or she will have to have good vocabulary so that he or she can understand the study material available on education app. So, let’s understand the ways to develop and enhance vocabulary:
- To develop the vocabulary, one needs to dwell in the world of words. For this one needs to spend time with literature. For this one needs to develop a habit of reading on a regular basis. To make it a habit one needs to read newspapers, magazines, novels or books regularly. This habit of reading enhances vocabulary on a regular basis.
- To develop word power and vocabulary students and learners should use some assistance such as a dictionary and online vocabulary. Dictionaries not only give knowledge of words and their meanings but also, they provide proper pronunciation and antonyms and synonyms of the words which enhance vocabulary power to a good extent.
- Students should be taught anything with the help of games. With the help of games students and kids learn fast as compared to any other method. With the help of games related to words and vocabulary such as crossword puzzles and su-do-ku students and kids learn vocabulary and new words easily and with fun.
- To make students aware of enhancing vocabulary, parents play an important role and for this they will have to be around the child all the times and make him or her speak in particular language they want his/her language to be strong in and keep asking the child sing rhymes and poems in that particular language, also make him curious and ask about new words to gain vocabulary knowledge.
- Parents and teachers should make sure one thing their conversation should be continuous and clear with the child and should never use twisted words in order to adore the child. Always speak with the child in a clear voice tone and with clear pronunciation of the words. Make the child share his or her feelings in very clear words and wherever they are stuck, elders should help them and make them understand the meaning, pronunciation and spelling knowledge of that particular word.
- Parents should read new stories to their kids on a daily basis and make them take interest in those stories. When kids read these stories, they take interest in the whole story and keep on asking about new words and in this way, they also come to learn that for good communication and interesting stories they need to have good vocabulary for it.
- To make students aware of the importance of vocabulary we need to make students take part in such activities which inspire them to enhance their word power like teachers should motivate students and kids to participate in debates and group discussions. This is so, because for winning such debates and group discussions one should have good knowledge of words and grammar. Grammar portions are never so hard but what makes people stuck while speaking is lack of word power.
