Vocabulary Can Be Fun offers a range of interactive ways of building and reviewing vocabulary. The website is designed to address a vast audience for it not only has word games for language learners in different grades (on the right), but also offers vocabulary learning tips and games for GRE aspirants (left side, bottom)! I feel this may confuse and distract the learners initially.
The best way of making the most of this site in my context would be to only focus on the thematic groups/labels given on the left index. This index includes practice games on analogies, antonyms, prefixes, spellings etc. These games can complement classroom teaching of vocabulary based on specific themes and can help students practice the words in an interactive way. I would particularly like focus on the Homophones games, as this is often a challenging aspect to master in any foreign language. Sometimes, even the most fluent and proficient of learners get confused with similar sounding words. Maybe, getting a low score on a word game will help them remember the word better!
I liked the homophones matching game too. Thanks for the resource Shilpa. I hadn't seen any user friendly resources for homophones till this!
ReplyDeleteI like using games for vocabulary lessons too! Otherwise, vocabulary can be a very boring section. It is really good to know that there is a website specifically designed for vocabulary games! Thanks for sharing, Shilpa.
