Vocabulary Growth Strategies for College Word Study

VOCABULARY GROWTH: STRATEGIES FOR COLLEGE WORD STUDY maintains a strategic approach to vocabulary development in which emphasis is not on the memorization of individual words and their definition, but on helping college students perceive connections among words and elements within words. The text's strength can be found in its chapter organization. Each chapter includes: A statement of objectives at the start of the chapter. A reading selection called "Interesting Words to Think About" which introduces words or a group of words that relates to the topic of the chapter. "Strategy" boxes that help students develop techniques to wrest meanings from words. Two modules, each presenting 12 to 15 new words that share a common feature. A third module offering a reading selection about an aspect of word building or use that relates to the focus of the chapter. A "Confusing Words" box which ends the chapter, addressing common problems such as it's and its, or eminent and imminent.Hennings, Dorothy Grant is the author of 'Vocabulary Growth Strategies for College Word Study', published 2000 under ISBN 9780130223265 and ISBN 0130223263.
