1. Teaching Vocabulary from Literature Using News Sources to Teach Domain-Specific Words Teaching Shades of Meaning

Making Connections

A crucial tactic in effectively learning vocabulary is finding a personal, relevant connection to words. When people can make a clear link between a word's definition and something familiar to themselves, they will be able to remember and use the word more readily.
Take the word 'ambivalent.' It means 'undecided' or 'unsure.' To remember this meaning, you could connect the first syllable to another word with the same first syllable, i.e., Amherst, Massachusetts. Making the connection that your friend was ambivalent about accepting a job in Amherst would help you recall the word even when it was used in a different context.
