ENHANCING VOCABULARY



Vocabulary is central to English language learning because without sufficient vocabulary it is difficult to express our ideas understand others.
Wilkins (1972) wrote that “While without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed”.
Mastering vocabulary is very important for students. It helps them in enhancing their writing and speaking skills. We have taken this as our prime target and started working on this. The new words are introduced to the students by asking the students to fill the missing alphabet of the words and the meaning of that word serves as the clue for them.
Every day the students are given one word to find out. This week the students have in their word bank the following words along with their meanings -
Ramble- walk for pleasure

  • Solecism- mistake of grammar or idiom.
  • Abbess- head of a community of nuns.
  • Ran counter - teller of anecdotes
  • Bailey- outer wall of a castle.
