Dear ESL All subscribers
from all around the world,
Our May newsletter featured
some online dictionary sites that triggered much
interest. Many of our readers since then wrote to
ask whether we could suggest additional sites where
to find online English picture vocabulary exercises
and games useful to both beginners and intermediate
learners.
This is precisely what this
July issue of the ESL All newsletter aims to do.
We have this month selected
for you ten of the Top Picture Vocabulary Resources
available online. Some of the sites that we recommend
even have audio files that allow you to hear the
correct pronunciation of each word.
It is our firm belief that picture
vocabulary dictionaries, exercises and games are
great ways of building new vocabulary. The visual
support they provide have the added advantage of
increasing the level of retention of new words
by learners. What is however important to keep
in mind is the importance of repetition. The more
often you revise or redo the exercises or play
the games, the more you will remember. Never underestimate
the importance of repetition. This is what the
human brain needs for long-term memorization.
Our chosen resources
are divided into three categories: 1) picture dictionary
sites for those who missed the May
issue of our newsletter; 2) picture vocabulary
exercise sites; and 3) picture vocabulary game sites
for those who want to learn while having fun.
Do not hesitate to send
us your comments or questions if you have any.
Have fun!
The
ESL All Team
