Play-way Methods to Improve Vocabulary

Bhumika Agrawal, M.A., Ph.D. (Submitted), B.Ed., B.Sc.

Abstract

This paper focuses on improving vocabulary using play-way methods.

Key words: Vocabulary, Play-way, Stories, Aantakshari, Idioms, Phrases

Importance of the Mastery of Words

Everybody wishes to have a strong vocabulary and also to have a treasure of idioms and phrases to convey the information accurately and to express the emotions effectively. Rich vocabulary helps the speaker or the writer to create a good impression about his/her word power. However, many speakers and writers fail to impress their listeners and readers because of their lack of proper and effective use of words. Hence inadequate vocabulary proves to be a serious handicap for such people. Even good speakers may reach a plateau due to inadequate vocabulary. Hence one should be extremely conscious regarding the use of proper words, idioms and phrases in proper contexts because an exact and extensive vocabulary is an important tool for success.

Good communicators and learners always crave to learn new words, their meanings, their multiple uses, pronunciation, spelling, parts of speech and appearance in the sentence.
