Vocabulary Profiling 1

Failing to guess the meaning of an unknown word depend a deal on a student's word knowledge. Probably a student who has weak word knowledge tends to fail a lot. Sometimes it happens to me, too. However, those unknown words might be high level English words that I can't understand their meaning though I know most common words in a context. Most of coursebooks don't include "guess meaning activities". However, the ones that contain "guess meaning activities" provide dictionary meanings or fill in the blank activities with most common words. Developing sense of word frequency can be beneficial for our proffession because everybody thinks us as living dictionaries.
