The course focuses on words based on context and meaning, not memorization. People think with words, therefore to improve thinking there is a need to increase one’s range of English vocabulary. How to choose a word that fits the context and has a more precise meaning is what this course provides. Approaching vocabulary in a variety of ways paves for a better understanding of the relationship between words or ideas in a structure, thus, building higher level skills in critical-creative thinking.

The course focuses on words based on context and meaning, not memorization. People think with words, therefore to improve thinking there is a need to increase one’s range of English vocabulary. How to choose a word that fits the context and has a more precise meaning is what this course provides. Approaching vocabulary in a variety of ways paves for a better understanding of the relationship between words or ideas in a structure, thus, building higher level skills in critical-creative thinking.
