Synopsis
The Basic English Vocabulary Builder Activity Book is a unique student text for teaching and reinforcing basic vocabulary on a variety of everyday topics. In 32 illustrated lessons, beginning students of English learn and practice the vocabulary they need to communicate successfully at school, at home, and in their communities. The lesson topics include: colors, clothing, food, parts of the body, the family, numbers, telling time, maps, transportation, school, animals, seasons and weather, holidays, tools, shapes and containers, and more. Exercises such as matching, fill-ins, true/false, sentence completion, multiple choice, and crosswords introduce and practice the vocabulary in each lesson. Special features of the activity book are clear, easy-to-understand artwork that engages low-level students and facilitates comprehension; exercises that reinforce grammatical structures and sentence patterns taught in the beginning-level classes; activities (such as analogies, classifications, and comparing/contrasting) that encourage students to develop higher-level thinking and learning strategies; multi-level lessons that make the text suitable for beginning students with a wide range of backgrounds and abilities; and a flexible format which permits instructors to use the lessons in any order that complements their class syllabus or basal text. The straightforward activities, clear artwork, and uncluttered pages in this activity book are both engaging and unintimidating to young adult and adult students of English at low levels. With its careful combination of vocabulary and language development, higher-level thinking skills, and learning strategies, the Basic English Vocabulary Builder Activity Book gives students the tools they need to participate and succeed in content-area classes and in the English-speaking world.
