Key learning points
- Revisiting sound-symbol correspondences regularly supports accurate spelling and pronunciation of new/familiar words.
- To really ‘know’ a word, you need to be able to understand it and use it to listen, read, speak and write.
- Secure knowledge of high frequency verbs is essential for independent communication.
Keywords
Sound-symbol correspondence - relationship between letters and their sounds, also known by the acronym SSC
Vocabulary - body of words used in a particular language; mon vocabulaire (my vocabulary) is the body of words I know in French
High-frequency verb - verb used most frequently in a language and therefore the most useful, e.g. 'être', 'avoir', 'faire', and -er verbs, e.g. 'parler', 'penser', 'regarder'
Common misconception
Once you 'know' some vocabulary, you should move on.
Vocabulary and grammatical concepts need consistently revisiting in order to move it in to your long term memory. Work out what learning techniques work for you but the most important thing is repetition.
