Description
Would your studies be easier if you knew more vocabulary? This workshop will help you to ‘get to know words’ better by introducing the Academic Word List and word families. The workshop also looks at how words can change in different contexts, with a focus on meaning and usage.
This workshop is a part of the Communication Skills for International Students programme. It is designed for international students and students who use English as an additional language.
This workshop will take place online in Microsoft Teams – guidance on using Microsoft Teams is available. The workshop will have interactive elements and we recommend that if possible you use a laptop or PC. You may wish to use an additional mobile device or another tab in your browser for the interactive elements. You can access session materials beforehand from the Study Skills site.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of the session, you will feel more confident about:
- Getting to know a word by exploring word families
- Exploring how the meaning of a word can change in different contexts
- Exploring how words exist in common phrases in both general and academic contexts
