first I �d like to ask how many words is a student
supposed to know when they finish elementary level?
and
do you have a document which includes
all vocabulary a student of elementary is supposed to know? and of course, ,if
you have are you willing to share with me?
(
I�ve downloaded some pdfs and word documents from the net which is first 1000
words in English but I didn�t like them because they have some shortcoming. for
example, there is the verb �lend� but its opposite of �borrow� isn�t included)
He is asking how many words they are supposed to know at ElementaryLevel. �mer, I suggest contacting British Council. They used to have Cambridge Young Learners English Tests Handbook in which there are the thematic vocabulary lists for � �Starters - Movers - Flyers � � I have counted the Starter �s vocabulary list which comes to around 500 words. So should you get the handbook from the British Council, you can count the rest and let me know.
wow, Aftab, so useful!! Is it easy to get the readers? Where can I order them from? edit: silly me!! just had a closer look and saw they have an online order service!!
How many words do you guys know? I myself have never counted! Therefore, couldn �t ask my students to do so.
I always found funny whenever I see courses advertising "learn 1000 words in level 1, 2000 in level 2, etc." How can anyone be so sure?! Just because a coursebook has the vocabulary doesn �t mean that the student will or even should learn them all. I �ve used books with words I know my students won �t learn because there �s a big chance they �ll never use them again in a colloquial way.
