How to Improve Your Vocabulary and Achieve Greater Success in School and at Work

If you are looking to improve your vocabulary in order to achieve greater success in school or at work, then you need to become more attune to the words you encounter every day….

So what do I mean by being more attune to the words you encounter every day?

What I mean by this is you have to start paying closer attention to ever word you read or hear. If you are a student, this means paying close attention to every word your teacher uses during a lecture. If you are business professional, it means you need to listen closely to every word you hear at work.

When you start paying close attention to every word you read or hear, you start to notice that we are exposed wonderful and empowering vocabulary words every day. You will also start to notice new words as well as words that are in your passive vocabulary, but not your active vocabulary. When a word is in your passive vocabulary it means you understand the words meaning, but you do not actively use the word.

By being more attune to the words you read or hear in school, you will find that your comprehension and retention of new subject matter increases (as well as your grades and test scores).

By being more attune to words you encounter at work, you will improve your vocabulary and you will find that you are better able to communicate and connect with your colleagues.

One of the simplest ways you can start being more attuned to words you encounter is by using a vocabulary journal. Use your vocabulary journal to document every new word your read or hear as well as every word that is in your passive vocabulary, but not in your active vocabulary
