Vocabulary, a challenge for students-in context
Weak vocabulary among students is one of the key concerns raised by language teachers during the PTM in most of the schools. The blurring expertise has been a consistent theme in all the consultation sessions held with educators to comprehend execution of understudies in dialects. It has been voiced by so many teachers that this actually sounded like one of the real time problems which teachers acknowledge very often. On further pondering and discussion with teachers, the scenario that comes to the surface is that, the direct linkage of reading habit with the dwindling vocabulary among students is the main cause of this. The further piece of writing is an attempt to internalise this thought as a learner and subsequently look at possible dynamics of learning to bolster the way a child can learn vocabulary as an expertise. Words have always been a way to communicate beautifully and they lend a hand in garnishing the existing imagination of the speaker, be it communication within our without. It acts as a stimulus to contrast involuntary memory with voluntary memory. In all probability, this is more or less, a closer way of learning and responding to knowledge when we refer to meaningful learning. It connects through various schemas of facts or information, thus helping the speaker to arrive at a new knowledge through previously acquired knowledge with lesser impetus on memorizing or rote learning of information. A recent research work on a group of people showed that the learners, presented with a list of few words, tend to cram up to augment their existing vocabulary. No doubt that people come across so many thwarted performances in vocabulary in a context as a skill. May be this is the reason that people now have forgotten to use different words for different expressions and every good things comes up to ‘awesome’. From a glass of lemonade to a good performance of an actor to a good book- Everything is simply ‘awesome’, with no new word or expression to sum it up! It is not the inability of the speaker to acknowledge and perceive the world but their frailty in aptly expressing the emotions. It might sound a bit exaggerated in saying that the world loses its’ shine owing to lack of apt words to express the emotions that the speaker feels, but it is only euphemistic to call it a crisis in the richness of conversations. Another trend that is doing the rounds recently is that the more difficult a word, the more one is assumed to be having a better command on the language. It’s in vogue to flaunt the list of words one mugged up painstakingly and perhaps morbidly over the years, which is basically of no use. There is nothing like a difficult or an easy word. A word is like a piece of a puzzle where it renders life to a sentence and makes it a meaningful one. It is the aptness of the word which will render beauty to communication than the length of the word. We at BDM International, never impose anything on the student. We follow a friendly method of learning and easy communication for the students. We believe words are meant to be communicated and one should understand the message that is being conveyed to them. We can mould it in a more meaningful and better way only but making it sound difficult will not serve any purpose. Get your child admitted in BDMI and make them learn in a systematic and better way.
