Perfectly seriously: "Learning vocabulary" is not often the method that works
best. Doing something like grouping the words in a manner that makes sense to
students themselves will often have better results. Then Mnemosyne takes over
for medium —> long term memory.
So a few students get together and get all the sports words; then music
related; business related... Making the associations is the learning process.
A few more students start drawing pictures, or more likely cartoons using some
of the words. Relating the cartoons to the words is the learning. I would
MindMap because I like to be different. MindMap the cartoons.
Then it can all go into the Mnemosyne card data base at least 30 words a week
will be easy this way.
We got an excellent way of learning Chinese demonstrated yesterday: Grouping
bi-syllabic words into 16 or 25 on a grid of equal tones.
Tones:– 1 + 1; 1 + 2; 1 + 3;
1 + 4 (1 + 5)
2 + 1; 2 + 2; 2 + 3;
2 + 4
3 + 1; 3 + 2; 3 + 3;
3 + 4
4 + 1; 4 + 2; 4 + 3;
4 + 4
(5 + 1; where 5 = neutral tone)
We learned the meanings too, but the actual task was to build up blocks of
words starting with one we could already pronounce and adding new ones to
practice the tone.
Having done that (And added pictures, audio perhaps) they can go into Mnemosyne
decks organised on any principle desired.
This year, however, you may well wish to do it your own way. Don't rush these
new ideas... *=*)
