additional target words presented in the appendices included in the first three books of the series are the most useful words in English They were found by analysis of a collection of English course books from various levels in the primary, secondary and tertiary school systems The words included in this series were chosen because they occurred many times in different levels of these materials Because of the way that they were chosen, these words have the following characteristics: They are useful in both spoken and written English No matter what English course you are studying, the words in these books w ill be of value to you Each word in these books is a high-frequency word This means that the effort in learning the words is well repaid by the number of times learners have a chance to encounter or use them These books as a whole cover a large proportion of the words in any spoken or written text They cover at least 80% of the words in newspapers and academic texts, and at least 90% of the words in novels They also cover at least 90% of the words in conversation About the Books The activities in these books are specially designed to make use of im portant learning conditions Firstly, the words are introduced using sentence definitions and an example sentence The activities that follow in the units encourage learners to recall the meanings and forms of the words Some activities also make the learners think about the meaning of the words in the context of a sentence— a sentence different from the sentences that occurred in the introduction of the words Moreover, each unit ends with a story containing the target words While reading the story, the learners have to recall the meanings of the words and suit them to the context of the story Such activities help learners develop a better understanding of a common meaning for a given word which fits the different uses Illustrations for each target word are provided to help learners visualize the word as it is being used in the example sentence These word/im age associations aim to help students grasp the meaning of the word as well as recall the word later It should be noted that words have more than one grammatical category However, this series focuses on the word’s most common form This is mentioned to remind learners that just because a word is labeled and utilized as a noun in this series does not mean that it can never be used in another form such as an adjective This series has simply focused on the word in the form that it is most likely to be expressed Supporting Learning w ith Outside A ctivities 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 these books support all four types of learning opportunities In addition, learning can further be supported through the following activities: 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 w ill find that quick repeated studying for brief periods of time is more effective than studying for hours at one sitting Assign graded readers at students’ appropriate levels Reading such books provides both enjoyment as well as meaning-focused input which w ill help the words stick in students’ memory Practice reading fluency to promote faster recall of word meaning for both sight recognition and usage Compass Publishing’ s Reading fo r Speed and Fluency is a good resource for reading fluency material Include listening, speaking, and w riting activities in classes Reinforcement of the high-frequency vocabulary presented in this series is im portant across all the four language skills A u th o r Paul Nation Paul Nation is p ro fe sso
