Vocab brainstorm
On all the courses you take here at college you can expect there to be important
vocabulary. Often this vocabulary will be subject-specific. Obviously Applied
Communications students will meet a very different variety of English from Business
students or Information Technology students.
Learning new vocabulary (and revising old vocabulary) is a constant job for anyone
who speaks a second language. There are lots of ways to record and learn
vocabulary, but it is very important that you do keep a record. Sometimes you can
group vocabulary together in a mindmap.
Look at the mindmap that has been started below. Work with your partner and add
as many other relevant words as you can.
