Transforming Your Students' Vocabulary
Tania Saiz-Sousa, Marketing Manager

Do your students say "good" when they could say "fantastic"? Do they say "sad" when they could say "miserable" or "broken-hearted"? Do you want to help transform your students' overuse of simple vocabulary into vivid, meaningful language?

The Longman Essential Activator® is a contextualized resource that leads students step-by-step from key words to a more exact word or phrase, helping them to express their ideas more accurately.

How does the Activator® build vocabulary?
  1. Students choose a word they already know, such as big
  1. The clear signposts help students navigate to the correct nuance of the word:
things/groups/organizations
places/area/cities/building/rooms
people
numbers/amounts,
etc.
  1. Within a category, students look at the different options. Clear definitions and example sentences make choosing the right word easy.

With the Activator®, your students' writing can go from this:

The waves were big and it was hard to swim at the beach.

To this:

The gigantic waves made it hard to swim at the beach.
