The Top 300 English Words
When I teach vocabulary, I teach words in context. This means that students focus on a text, a picture, a situation, a video, or an audio clip. When we have a context that we can relate to, then we learn the words that relate to it. This helps the brain to learn naturally and make connections between the words, the situation, and the experience.
However, not everyone learns the same way. Some people like lists. Some people like knowing that they are learning the most useful, powerful, practical words. Others feel frustrated learning words that they might not get much value from. For these people, I’m making available the Top 300 English words. You can find words # 1 – 200 in the post “The Top 200 English Words“. You can also find an article of The Top 100 English Words that is organised by word type.
