Vocabulary Knowledge is Important to Understanding a Reading


Guys, As I said in the previous article, in reading articles, newspapers, and even watching movies we can use various techniques to read or find the main topic. This time we will discuss about "Using Vocabulary Knowledge for Effective Reading". Surely when learning English or other foreign languages, we are familiar with the word "vocabulary". Well, the more we know a lot of vocabulary we will easily understand a reading quickly.

Vocabulary is important for understanding keywords in context for effective reading comprehension. A word can also vary according to a particular context. A good vocabulary can improve text comprehension because it makes it easier for readers to identify and understand keywords and relationships between words in a text.

The role of vocabulary itself is to play a key role in strengthening reading skills and improving overall understanding of context. Creating a more fluent reading experience. Of course, when we want to increase our vocabulary knowledge, there are several strategies that we can do:

a. Read often. Research has shown that students who read a lot tend to achieve good academic performance (Petrus & Shah, 2020). By reading often we will also remember the meaning of new vocabulary.

b. Making strategic and effective use of dictionaries and learning resources.

c. Active reading by summarizing words that are important and not yet understood.

d. Engaging in discussions. This can force you to find the right words to express your opinion.

e. Start writing a journal or blog. Writing regularly helps to expand your vocabulary.

f. Listen to music, podcasts and movies in foreign languages. When we don't understand the meaning of the word, we can search again and reread it to remember.

So in conclusion, increase vocabulary so that we can more easily understand and identify a reading and also read often to increase vocabulary.
