The researchs advice of learning vocabularies very fast. Its so worthwhile. So many students waste time trying to memorize English vocabulary. They study long lists of vocabulary. They repeat the lists many times, trying to memorize the English words and their translated meanings. Research shows that 80% of vocabulary learned in this way is forgotten in less than a year. That’s a lot of wasted time and effort. There’s another problem with this vocabulary learning method– it’s boring and therefore it kills long term motivation. Students must be very careful– killing your motivation is the worst thing you can do. Learning English is a marathon, it’s a long run. It requires high levels of motivation that are sustained for many years. Using boring vocabulary learning methods, therefore, is doubly bad: it is inefficient and it weakens motivation. . It is possible to learn new vocabulary in a way that is far more powerful AND is a lot of fun. When you learn in this way, studies show that you can remember 80% one year later! That’s powerful. The key to deep, powerful, long term vocabulary learning is movement. When we combine strong physical movements with understandable new vocabulary, we create deep connections in our brains and bodies. These connections are long term. They last! If the learners do this, they will learn these new vocabulary words very deeply, and will remember them forever, and that is the power of using physical movement while learning!
