The Vocabulary Maps Workbook is a nifty little addition to learning a new language, it is also useful for people who want to brush up on their vocabulary.
This book is unlike the typical textbook/Workbook style - there is no searching for vocabulary and no alphabetical order in columns or topics.
Vocabulary Maps is the first visualised vocabulary in context workbook. There are 10 major common topics spread into 100 maps, 2000 words plus exercises and examples in use. Our maps include nouns, verbs, phrases and idioms for each topic. Also available are downloadable vocabulary maps plus the blind maps and flash cards.
Vocabulary maps began in 2015. It started as a personal teaching aid for our students but when we saw the results we decided to spread our idea further. We use our maps for teaching English in Nestlé and few other local businesses.
We are currently testing our maps in 70 schools (nurseries, primary, high and language schools) and 60 families (homeschooling and parents with kids with special needs) in The Czech Republic and Slovakia.
what people have said about vocabulary maps
CREATING MAPS TOGETHER
Publicly editable database of vocabulary maps
What if we could collaborate to change the way people teach and learn languages?
We are Tom and Suzi a young family living in the Czech Republic. We teach English but not in the conventional textbook way. We use maps, vocabulary maps.
What are vocabulary maps?
At first glance you may see just a typical mind map, but when you look closely you will see vocabulary in context. Nouns, verbs, phrases and idioms.. All in pictures.
Who is it for?
Vocabulary maps are for people who think differently. Teachers, students, learners, parents, anybody who likes visual learning and logical thinking. his group is for teachers, students and learners who like vocabulary in context and with pictures.. this group is for visual learners, logical thinkers.
Hundreds of thousands of people all over the world use, make and love mind mapping and yet there is no public database of maps for teaching and learning foreign languages vocabulary.
Why?
There are two facts about our brain and memory:
80% OF THE INFORMATION WE TAKE IN IS BY OUR STRONGEST SENSE THE SIGHT!
70% OF THE INFORMATION WE REMEMBER/KNOW IS BECAUSE OF THE CONTEXT!
The best way to combine these two facts is not by alphabetic vocabulary in columns and so on, but something we call context visualised maps aka vocabulary maps.
We have created a special public group to which you can easily become a member and help us.
If you are IN just join the group, create/draw small, medium or big map with max of 50 words, upload it and add tags for each word.
Job done!
The only rule we follow is: keep your map clear and simple as possible.
Do not forget to share it in your communities, with your colleagues and friends, please. Cheers :)
