DEVELOPING VOCABULARY SKILL

Catatan Pembelajaran

Buku ini beda gaya dengan buku-buku Vocabulary Builder-nya Murray Bromberg. Fokus buku ini pada analisis kata. Menurut saya, buku ini saling melengkapi dengan buku yang lain. Gabungan ilmu dan pengetahuan dari kedua metoda tersebut akan membuat siapapun menguasari vocabulary yang luas, mengakar, dan mendalam. Dalam catatan ini, saya menggabungkan gaya Murray Bromberg dan Denis Keen, dengan cara menambahkan berbagai cerita dan artikel berdasarkan kosa kata yang diajarkan pada tiap bab pada buku Denis Keen tersebut. Seperti biasa, teman-teman pembaca gak perlu banyak repot buka-buka kamus lagi.
