Well, how cool is this? Last week I posted about Quizlet, a digital flashcard app and website. The New General Service List (NGSL), a corpus-based list of 2000+ high frequency words, is now available as ready-made flashcards on Quizlet. This is the 2013 updated version of the GSL, the most important word list ESL students need to know because it covers approximately 90% of the vocabulary they will read in most general English texts. Check out the NGSL website to download various forms of the list for strategic and systematic vocab study with your students.
As for Quizlet, someone from the NGSL team has gone to all the work of preparing 2,818 NGSL flashcards with learner-friendly definitions. Word cards are categorized by frequency, in groups of 50, and ready for flipping and studying.
Obviously, flashcards (paper or digital) are great for solo study. How have you used them in your classroom for group or all-class activities?
