Learning English vocabulary, especially abstract and academic words, has always been a big challenge for English learners because the majority of ESL learners simply memorize words out of context. Therefore, English learners cannot score high on standardized English tests, such as IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, SAT, etc. with relatively long passages and contextualized words.
Vocabulary learning should be integrated with listening comprehension to become a more natural process. For this reason, our students can select any word, phrase, passage or the entire article in order to listen to the selected text. That is to say, LELB Society is genuinely talking to and interacting with our students.
As mentioned earlier, it’s a wrong approach to learning vocabulary out of context. At LELB Society, we provide our students with this exceptional opportunity to build up and expand academic vocabulary in real or authentic context extracted from novels, books, websites, plays, scripts of movies, poems, and the like. What’s more, our students can master advanced vocabulary in organized themes and subjects by clicking on the tags or keywords located at the bottom of each lesson. To browse our most frequently-used tags and keywords, click here and study all lessons.
Abstract words should become tangible in your mind for a longer retention. One perfect way to make abstract words tangible is to make appropriate associations between them and corresponding visual concepts, and using images and illustrations can help you achieve this goal. At LELB Society, we have illustrated thousands of advanced English vocabulary found in best-selling vocabulary books, such as 504 Absolutely Essential Words, 1100 Words You Need to Know and 601 Words You Need to Know to Pass Your Exam.
The images and illustrations are accessible only to our students or members.
