, Preface
The Instructor’s Manual features three components to enhance your use of Academic
Vocabulary: collaborative activities, games, and a test bank.
Collaborative Activities: This section suggests ways to use the Interactive Exercises in pairs, in
small groups, or with the whole class. The section also introduces other activities that students
can do together. These activities allow students to work with others, discover their learning style
preferences, and use the words in conversational settings. Working with others can make
students more comfortable with learning and using new words, which will lead to greater
motivation to study vocabulary.
Games for Any Chapter: The use of games shows students that learning vocabulary is
enjoyable. The games range from group to individual. Some have winners, and some are “just for
fun.” The instructions explain what equipment is needed and how the games can be played. The
games can be used for a single chapter or to review several chapters. Some of the games take
advantage of the flash cards the students have made. A few of the games can take a whole class
session to play, while others can be played in 15-20 minutes. If there isn’t enough time to play
any games in class and there is student interest in using games as a review method, the instructor
can make copies of a game’s instructions to give to students so they can play with their friends
and classmates, or as part of a study group session.
Test Bank: Three quizzes are provided for each chapter. The quizzes can be used for different
semesters or for different sections of the course. There are also two quizzes for each Word Parts
chapter and tests for the Review chapters and final exams. The tests are designed so that
instructors can give them in various ways: the students can write the words in the blanks, put a
letter in a blank space, or use a Scantron® form. Following the Test Bank is an Answer Section
for all the exercises and tests in Academic Vocabulary and in the Instructor’s Manual.
Combining the materials in the text and the Instructor’s Manual will help students see that
learning vocabulary is not something to dread, but an activity to enjoy.
ALSO AVAILABLE
Academic Vocabulary Web Site: The Web site features additional exercises and quizzes that
allow for even more interaction between the student and the vocabulary words. The Web site
also has an audio component, which students can use to hear the pronunciation of each word as
many times as they choose.
