https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a Dear All, Session 6 has covered 'The role of Memory in Learning and Recycling Vocabulary'. Since Session 1 we have shared the resources we used and suggested a variety of them on these padlets. This time we'd like to remember some key concepts and record what we want to remember to enhance our long term memory. This is an optional wall for our colleagues who would like to make a mental note-in this context padlet note- of the key aspects of the course. You may revisit this wall after session7 as well. THANK YOU! en-us 2019-04-10 12:08:45 UTC 2025-12-03 06:44:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Optimplaces.png schooloflanguages https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/353069523 The livebinder here includes many resources that can be useful when teaching vocabulary. The Apps given are particularly useful for revision and recycling purposes. This can serve as your vocabulary resource log. There is a google sheet in it which was presented earlier. Please feel free to improve it. You can make a copy of it and make changes in your copy.]]> 2019-04-22 14:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/353069523 schooloflanguages https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/357527848 1. Decay Theory: "don't use it you lose it."                                                  2. Interference:  new learning/information may interfere with old Proactive interference;  old learning/information may interfere with new                                             3. Motivated forgetting: psychologically painful information is repressed or forgotten                    4. Retrieval Cue Failure:  may not recall how the information is stored.                                                 5. State Dependent Memory -change in psychological or physical state may cause forgetting            6. Organic/biological problems: maybe caused by depression, other factors like malnutrition or brain injury.]]> 2019-05-07 09:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/357527848 schooloflanguages https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/357530722  1. Rehearsal: to maintain the info - can vary from rote repetition to association with previously learned information                                        2. Deep Processing: making the new info personally relevant and meaningful         
3. Distributed practice=spaced practice: revising small quantities over time instead of doing massed practice                                               4. Mnemonics - using different strategies to organize info to enhance remembering-  words, stories, rhymes, visualization...etc. 5. Effective reading of the text: Can PQ4R  be used with a focus on vocabulary?    Preview - skim the text before you read searching new vocabulary; Question - ask yourself can I guess these words/phrases from context?  1.Read (and notice new vocabulary); 2. Reflect (what is the grammar of it? word formation; affixation...etc.3. Recite (study using dictionaries, keeping journals...etc.) 4. Review (act against the forgetting curve)
 6. Take good lecture notes & rewrite notes to practice new information with a focus on new vocabulary]]> 2019-05-07 09:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/357530722 schooloflanguages https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/359841502 2019-05-14 11:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/359841502 schooloflanguages https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/359841504 2019-05-14 11:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/359841504 schooloflanguages https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/379310259 2019-09-03 06:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflanguages/j5j0765iuh2a/wish/379310259
