Venerdì 25 Ottobre 2013 20:17

Nell'apprendimento della lingua inglese le difficoltà maggiori sono legate alla capacità di padroneggiare il vocabolario.

Un lessico inadeguato finisce per influire negativamente sia nella scrittura che nella lettura.

La maggior parte degli studenti hanno problemi in particolare con il vocabolario attivo, cioè l'insieme delle parole che AUTENTICAMENTE usiamo nella comunicazione scritta e orale. Quando uno studente interiorizza una voce finisce per archiviarsi in una sorta di vocabolario passivo, ma una volta che iniziano ad usare quel termine in una conversazione, diventa parte integrante del vocabolario attivo.

Il vocabolario passivo ha più probabilità di essere dimenticato e per questo nell'insegnamento occorre sempre mettere in condizione gli alunni di utilizzare i vocaboli in maniera attiva e comunicativa.
Ora sono disponibili diverse risorse web davvero utili per insegnare il vocabolario, utilizzabili con gli studenti in classe. Ecco un elenco un elenco di alcuni dei migliori strumenti di Internet per insegnare/ apprendere il vocabolario.
