💡 Word Wall
Welcome to the Word Wall!
In our Vocabulary Development course, we explore vocabulary in two ways: through Thematic Vocabulary, which focuses on words grouped around specific themes such as education, science, and health, and through General Vocabulary, which includes useful or interesting words from any context.
To support this, each day one of you will choose a word worth knowing. It may connect to the theme we are currently studying, or it may be a general word you’ve discovered, depending on where we are in our syllabus.
This Word Wall is your space to highlight new words, show how they work in real sentences, and help your peers expand their vocabulary.
