2014 | 122 Pages | ISBN: 1505820480 | PDF | 26 MB
The Complete Graded Spelling Lists with Spelling and Vocabulary Exercises series is the most useful resource available for parents and teachers teaching and testing children in English spelling and vocabulary. This series provides a complete spelling program, allowing primary school children and other students of English a systematic approach to the mastery of English spelling. Each book contains 100 weekly spelling lists, with more than 1500 of the most common words in English, divided into basic spelling groups of 16-18 words per week. In addition, there are five extension words per week, which develop the basic vocabulary and teach the rules for adding prefixes and suffixes to the listed words. There are three books in the Complete Graded Spelling Lists with Spelling and Vocabulary Exercises series – for Years 1 and 2, Years 3 and 4, and Years 5 and 6. They are based on the same lists as the original spelling book (Complete Graded Spelling Lists for Years One to Six). Through a varied range of exercises – which include matching words to meanings, finding antonyms and synonyms, changing grammatical form, adding prefixes and suffixes, and distinguishing homophones and homonyms – these books not only reinforce the spelling of the listed words themselves but extend the educational value of these lists by teaching vocabulary and grammar.

This book offers a comprehensive investigation into advanced students’ knowledge of vocabulary in their L1 and L2. As a cross-sectional study, it examines the quantitative aspects of students’ vocabulary knowledge through parallel tests of upper secondary level vocabulary, specialised vocabulary, and advanced vocabulary in both their L1 and L2.It also, primarily in qualitative terms, investigates students’ L1 and L2 knowledge of polysemous words, lexical fields of near synonyms and false friends.Knowledge of derivative forms, idioms, proverbs, idiomatically used prepositions and multi-word verbs offer insights into both the breadth and depth of students’L1 and L2vocabulary knowledge. Finally, it considers the extent to which students’ results can be attributed to differences between inferencing skills in their L1 and L2.In each subfield, the pedagogical implications of the findings are discussed.This book will be of interest to teachers and researchers focusing on the teaching and learning of vocabulary.
