  • HOW TO UTILIZE AVAILABLE VOCABULARY LISTS ON AZVOCAB

    One of the outstanding features of azVocab is the available vocabulary lists based on various sources such as documents, textbooks, and international exams. In this article, let’s explore how to effectively utilize them!

    Benefits of Available Vocabulary Lists on azVocab

    When facing an upcoming exam or studying a particular book or textbook, knowing how many vocabulary words you need to learn is crucial. Only by mastering these words can you apply your grammar knowledge to construct sentences and express your thoughts and opinions. However, when preparing for exams or following a textbook, learners often encounter difficulties in memorizing vocabulary words through traditional methods such as note-taking on paper or not knowing where to start due to the overwhelming number of words.

    Understanding this, azVocab has compiled vocabulary lists for each textbook, book, exam, etc., so users can easily determine the number of words they need to learn, how many words they already know, and how many new words they need to study. Additionally, users can add unfamiliar words to their personal wordbook for study and periodic review using the spaced repetition technique. This makes vocabulary learning less challenging, and it significantly enhances learning efficiency without consuming much time.

    How to Utilize Available Vocabulary Lists on azVocab

    1. Structure of a Collection

    The Explore section on azVocab is divided into various Collections, including:

    • English textbooks, comprehension exercise books, and common vocabulary

    Từ vựng theo giáo trình, bộ sách và từ vựng thông dụng

    • International English proficiency certificates such as IELTS, Cambridge, ETS

    từ vựng theo chứng chỉ tiếng Anh

    • Common idioms and phrasal verbs

    thành ngữ và cụm động từ thông dụng

    • English textbooks (for Vietnamese students only)

    từ vựng tiếng Anh phổ thông

    Each collection is further divided into smaller sections, making it easy for users to track and select what suits their needs. Each section is then subdivided into vocab sets organized by different topics for user convenience and focused learning.
