This means relating new information to information you already know. For example, if you know the meaning of 'information', it is easy to remember that the verb is 'to inform', and that 'informative' is an adjective, and that 'an informant' is someone who gives information.
This means putting new vocabulary words into sentences to help you remember them and to test if you are using them correctly. You can use these sentences when talking to an English-speaker to see if they understand, you can write these sentences in your learner portfolio for the tutors to see, or you can e-mail the tutors and ask them to check these words in your sentences. The most independent ways are talking to an English speaker, and searching the Internet to find examples of the word being used in sentences.
you can group words into different areas, such as words in the different courses you study. For example, business students could group vocabulary items into marketing vocabulary, accounting vocabulary, and human resources vocabulary.

techniquesarnersto a short list of new words. If the words are
related to each other in some way ,then the lesson might feel more unified than if the lists contains a more
varied or random selection and is also likely to be easier to remember. This input of new vocabulary
would probably be followed by a practice activity in which the learners could find ways to use the words
that they had just met or revised. Used by the teacher teaching techniques can be different but they must
be fitted to the learner’s knowledge level and should be used,to make the lesson more interesting and
more efficient.
