Supporting Learning with Other Activities

A well -balanced language course provides four major opportunities for learning: learning through input,
learning through output, deliberate learning, and fluency development. The highly structured activities in
th ese books support all four types of learning opportunities. Learning can further be supported through
th e following activities:

1. Have students create vocabulary cards with one word from the unit on one side of the card and the
translation of the word in the student's first language on the other side. Students should use the cards
for study in free moments during the day. Over several weeks, students will find that quick repeated
studying for brief period s of time is more effective than studying for hours at one sitting.

2. Assign graded readers at appropriate levels. Reading such books provides both enjoyment as well as
meaning-focused input, which will improve student recall of the words.

3. Practice reading fluency to promote faster recall of word meaning for both sight recognition and
usage. Compass Publi shing's Reading for Speed and Fluency is an invaluable resource for reading fluency
material.

4. Include listening, speaking, and writing activities in classes. Reinforcement of the high-frequency
vocabulary presented in this series is important across all four language skills.
