My vocabulary class

This subject is very useful and help to improve our English.   We used different literatures and magazines for  this subject. For e.g.“ Oxford Word Skills” helps learn and practice English vocabulary . It is the advanced level. What Am I waiting  of my  vocabulary class? 

1. Using different  methods to  learn words. There are:

         

          *learning  words  together  that are associate  in meaning   is very popular  and useful way  of  organizing  my  vocabulary study;

           *learn words  with  a grammatical  association together;

    *learn  together  words  based  on the same root;

    *pictures and diagrams can help.

     All the time I am using various types of diagrams. Why? There are two fundamental reasons why  diagrams are such a powerful tool for me.  
First, there is simple for understanding. Pictures , colours and  keywords add to a spatial structure. There is invites easy exploration in  my memory.I get confused between  the top left  and bottom right of a spider diagram in the way. The space gives us meaning.

Second is that their creation is active, and intertwined with the development of understanding. As I force myself  sift, understand and summarise in order to create the diagram, I make new connections which deepen and elaborate our understanding.  

    I think, learning vocabulary means more than just knowing the definition and know how to impress it. Content area words are often associated with more than a literal dictionary definition. Many times these words are associated with other concepts. My experience is not huge. My vocabulary classes in Academy and in College are differently.  At college my instructor  used this list.
