Ways Of Improving Vocabulary

Have you ever heard the words, antonyms and synonyms? If yes, then I am sure you must have heard that they are very important for scoring high in IELTS. But then do you think, that merely knowing the meaning of 1000 isolated words would help you? Well, if you are one of those who is on a target of learning 10 words from dictionary every day, I am sorry to inform that this is not going to help you. But then what is going to and how can you improve your vocabulary??

Well, let us have a look at different approaches that you can follow to score high in IELTS/learn new words effectively.

  1. Collocations – collocations are the words that go together. For example – by train, on foot. When learning new words, make sure that you learn them with words they are often used. This helps you to be more accurate. Example – it is not high man but tall man.
  2. Learn words with families – This does not mean that you need to sit with your family while learning words, it simply means that you need to learn words such that they can be grouped together. For instance, if you need to learn words that show anger, learn all of them together, like belligerent, bellicose, pugnacious. They all mean the same, so it is always a good idea to learn them together. So, when learning words, don’t go for words, rather go for ideas, and then learn everything associated with that idea.
  3. Pictures and diagrams – You can even learn words with diagrams. For example –

So, go on, learn words the way you like, just make sure you learn them and grow your vocabulary.

How To Learn A New Word

English is a very broad language consisting of various words that were originally a part of either Persia or Arabian or may be Hindi. Even more, learning a new word often does not means simply to understand its meaning, because a word is often used differently in different context. You need to know the meaning of the word and then more importantly how it is being used.But then, how to learn a new word. When learning a new word make sure you do the following so that you grasp the content of the word correctly –

  1. Knowing the word is not enough. You need to know the words it is usually associated with and whether the word has any grammatical characteristics. And the most important part is to learn its pronunciation.
  2. It is always a good idea to learn a new word in phrases rather than cramming their meanings in isolation.
  3. Write down the nouns and the adjectives the words are generally associated with. For instance – royal family.
  4. Write down the verb with the structure and the nouns the word is often associated with. Example – to express an opinion.
  5. Write down nouns with phrases and words with prepositions. For example – shades of opinion, thanks to your help.
  6. Notice the grammatical structure of the words. As in when is the verb is irregular and when the noun in uncountable.

Learning words is of no use if you don’t know how to use them. So, make sure while learning new words that you can use the word correctly and also pronounce it appropriately.
