How we know a word
Posted: 23 Apr 2009, 22:23
Hi,
What are the difficulties in using synonyms to explain vocabulary when working with beginners?
Suppose your student told you his/her (correct) choice of a word was based on a decision that it just "sounded right". Would you confirm for the student that this is a valid reason to use the word, or would you ask for a more logical explanation?
Any suggestions :?:
