I played a simple vocabulary game and they went nuts!! Basically they each get 4 seconds to come up with a word from the chosen letter. We go around till there is only one player left. Teaching is always a cost/benefit weighing. How long does it take, and how much do they get out of it?. This game takes seconds to explain and they explore just how many words they really know., as well as learning

I realized, through some chat sessions, that some people's vocabulary includes 10 words. That's not bad in a text-message-world where everything is abbreviated, even your civil liberties. You chat with somebody and all they write back is "yep", "hehe", "no", "maybe", etc. I am not asking for an essay but for a meaningful sentence. What's a sentence anyways

Is a little respect for the English language too much to ask from one of the country’s most prestigious newspapers? The answer, of course, is yes.

The 23-year-old student had

From The Guardian :   But as repossessions rise, jobs are shed and the price of fuel and basic foodstuffs rocket, one waits in vain for the candidates to deliver a keynote speech on class of a similar standard.   White working-class Americans are justified in their resentment about the way in which their needs and concerns are airbrushed from the national conversation or discussed in ways that bear little relevance to the root of their plight. Politicians too often cast the issue in populist terms of rich and poor, explains Michael Zweig, the director of the centre for study of working-class life at the State University of New York's Stonybrook campus. "Most people want to be rich and most of them don't know what rich is. A poll in 2000 showed that 19% of Americans thou

When purchasing a digital camera there is a dazzling array of information about the device available. The digital camera box will have bullet pointed lists of features, and many of those consist of numbers and abbreviations that may be misunderstood. High numbers always seem very impressive, but without knowing what they mean, you may end up purchasing a digital camera that does not match your requirements. Some of the most common abbreviations and the impact they have upon your gadget experience are summarized below. Many digital camera manufacturers base their advertising campaign and packaging on the number of pixels the camera uses to create its image. Pixels are the elements that make up the digital image. Each pixel is of a single colour, and these join like a mosaic to create the im

Word Games to Increase VocabularyAuthor: Celia WebbMost of us recognize that play is an important way to learn all types of skills and knowledge. Play works as a way to learn for a couple of reasons. First, we are more motivated to do an activity if we are having fun doing it. Second, pleasurable activities get repeated and, therefore, give us more chances to practice the skill or piece of knowledge. And as the cliché says – practice makes perfect. Word games are a great way to pick up new vocabulary and play with vocabulary that is already familiar. Each game focuses on a different set of skills related to learning words, so if enthusiasm wanes for one game, switching to another game can re-energize the learning process. All of the paperless games below can be played anywhere. They re

Learning new vocabulary through context clues is a strategy that is often recommended. But this is difficult for English as a second language learners because they often do not know enough vocabulary in English, so they miss the clues. While fluent English speakers understand a written English vocabulary of 10,000-100,000 words, most foreign students know only 2,000-7,000 English words prior to beginning to study at a university. For a reader to guess the meaning of new words using the context, he must know more than 98% of the words in the selected passage. There are two levels of knowing a word: word recognition from the context is first level. To really know a word means knowing its “pronunciation, spelling, morphological and syntactic properties, and multiple meanings; the contexts in which the word can be used; the frequency with which it is used; and its collocates, or how it combines with other words.” according to Miriam Burt, Joy Kreeft Peyton, and Carol Van Du

By: Ray La FoyThere are two main benefits of installing a GPS tracking system in your car. One, you can always find yourself just in case you go and get lost. Two, you can find your car in case your car gets lost or is stolen. Today, more and more car manufacturers are including this system as standard equipment in the cars they sell. It's the new-age device that helps you, like some omnipresent being, know where you or your vehicle are every minute of the day and night. There might be times when this might seem like a "big brother watching" feeling but more often than not, it provides a sort of security that someone is watching over your car. If the GPS tracking system comes with your car, well and good, but if it does not, where do you get it? There are a number of retail outlets that stock them or you could find them on the Internet. You will find you have quite a choice of the latest devices. Many electronic shops not only sell you the devices but also install them for you. You'l

#0858 Night2 Larger Image. Reflections on variety & repetition follow: The question of the variety of these sketches is not new, it was questioned tight at the start. And then later I embraced it. Now I think there was a common theme that is hard to see in the FORM rather than the content. For all that I am repeating crosses. I loved reading this the other day by Henry Geldzahler: The problem of creative fecundity and excitement and a maintained level of inspiration and execution is much more acute in the stripped and repeated images of today’s painting. For the painter limiting himself to a self-imposed and invested vocabulary, simple shapes and their relationships, there is literally no place to hide. This is the strength of the art and its emptiness when it goes bad. All is out in the open for everyone to see. That doesn’t make it easier to see, but paradoxically, more difficult. There is no anecdote, no allusion except to other art, nothing out­side art itse

“You don’t have to murder it; you just have to hit it,” is one of the encouragements I yell to Finn during baseball season. My baseball repertoire is vast: “Don’t watch the ball, just hit it and RUN!” “Hey outfield, look alive!” “Nice hit!” “Way to hustle!” “It’s coming to YOU, [name]!” “Mow him down– he’s in the baseline!” I don’t yell, “Go Finn Glamore, #23 on the field and #1 in my heart” anymore, because the last time I did Finn struck out and blamed it on me, and rightfully so. Soccer has been hard to adjust to. Our team is new, so I have few opportunities to shout “Nice kick” or “nice pass” but when these rare events happen I do try to acknowledge them. It’s when the ball is being kicked around in the middle of the field with no sense of purpose that I get doubly frustrated, first that the ball isn’t being taken

People all over the blogosphere say that development of improper language used in IM and e-mails has resulted in adversely influencing the grammar of children. There are two schools of thought on this issue. What is your opinion? Do you oppose the IM language? Or are you of the opinion that IM language is not the downfall of written language? Please let me know and give your valuable opinion.

My 2 yr old son is talking up a storm. Of course, it is very difficult to understand him. As I have found out with my older son, the best way to increase toddlers' vocabulary and improve their dictation is to repeat back to them whatever they said in the complete sentences. For example:When my son says, "Cookie" - I say to him, "You want a cookie?"When he says, "Booboo" - I say back to him, "You have a booboo on your leg."When he says, "Up. Up." - I say back to him, "You want Mommy to pick you up?"I never correct him, I just "repeat" back his words to him in complete sentences. After few months of this, I started to tell him to repeat after me.For example:When he says, "Mommy, up" - I say, "Say: Mommy pick me up please." When he repeats it after me(even if the dictation is not correct), I pick him up right away. If he continues to say, "Mommy, up" then I again say to him, "Say: Mommy pick me up please". He quickly realizes that he will not be picked up unless he says it and imm

When purchasing a digital camera there is a dazzling array of information about the device available. The digital camera box will have bullet pointed lists of features, and many of those consist of numbers and abbreviations that may be misunderstood. High numbers always seem very impressive, but without knowing what they mean, you may end up purchasing a digital camera that does not match your requirements. Some of the most common abbreviations and the impact they have upon your gadget experience are summarized below.Many digital camera manufacturers base their advertising campaign and packaging on the number of pixels the camera uses to create its image. Pixels are the elements that make up the digital image. Each pixel is of a single colour, and these join like a mosaic to create the image taken by the device. Pixels are indistinguishable unless the picture is enlarged as they are the smallest element of the digital image. When enlarged they can be seen with the naked eye. PPI stands

From this article in the SGV Tribune, it sounds like Japanese manga may be ahead of American comics in some respects: they provide interesting vocabulary in their pages:Kaplan, the test-prep company, and publisher TOKYOPOP partnered on three Manga novels, released in early July, that included vocabulary words such as "exculpate," "sanctimonious," and "unfetter." The words are underlined and are defined in a box on the same page.Exactly what comic books, both for the young and old alike, can use.

Energy Intelligence Note: 12 May, 2007A recent trend at Energy Intelligence has been assessing the geopolitical impacts of Peak Oil. While it is easy to discern these impacts today in places like Nigeria and Iraq, it may not be long before we must add a new term to our collective geopolitical vocabulary: Cabinda.Cabinda is a small ethnic exclave of Angola. It is where most of Angola's oil is produced, and where most of Angola's future production increases will come from. It is also the only Angolan province with an active insurgency and independence movement. In my opinion, Cabinda--and Angola's oil production along with it--may be the next geopolitical casualty of Peak Oil. There haven't been any attacks on the oil infrastructure yet (unless Thursday's "suspicious fire" at a Total

I need a new word to replace "lover". Or, not to replace it, but to allow for more specificity in the description. I can use "lover" to refer to the guy I've been not-infrequently fucking for the last year, who I also enjoy spending time with outside of the bedroom and even sometimes out in public. I can also use "lover" to refer to the guy who I see every 3-4 months only for sex and for conversation between bouts of sex. And I can use "lover" to talk about the guy I fucked once and may fuck again someday... But it only really feels right for the first. I'd really like to call the other two something else. But I know people will get the wrong idea if I call someone my "fucker". What terms to you use?

Photo by Bill Crandall for the New York TimesPoor Behavior Is Linked to Time in Day Care A much-anticipated report from the largest and longest-running study of American child care has found that keeping a preschooler in a day care center for a year or more increased the likelihood that the child would become disruptive in class — and that the effect persisted through the sixth grade. The effect was slight, and well within the normal range for healthy children, the researchers found. And as expected, parents’ guidance and their genes had by far the strongest influence on how children behaved. But the finding held up regardless of the child’s sex or family income, and regardless of the quality of the day care center. With more than two million American preschoolers attending day care, the increased disruptiveness very likely contributes to the load on teachers who must manage large classrooms, the authors argue. This from the New York Times.
