Text: Strategies to Improve Your Vocabulary | English Composition I: Cerritos College There are several proven benefits in improving your vocabulary, but how should we go about learning new words in the most effective way? By using the following ten vocabulary-building strategies, you are guaranteed to develop a strong vocabulary and keep improving it every day. 1. It’s undeniable that reading is the most effective way to get new vocabulary. With context information surrounding each new word, there’s a good chance you can guess its meaning just by understanding the overall text. If you’re not able to infer the meaning of new words when reading, it’s probably because there are too many unknown words in the text. 2. A dictionary is the first indispensable resource to improve your vocabulary. Consider adding a good dictionary and thesaurus to your bookshelf. For online dictionaries, there are many free options with great extra features. 3. Be creative and try to use your newly learned words in as many ways as possible: 4. Many websites provide free word-of-the-day services.
