What is another word for education ?

Synonyms for education ˌɛdʒ ʊˈkeɪ ʃən ed·u·ca·tion, this thesaurus page includes all potential synonyms, words with the same meaning and similar terms for the word education ., english synonyms and antonyms rate these synonyms: 1.0 / 1 vote.

Education (Latin educere , to lead or draw out) is the systematic development and cultivation of the mind and other natural powers. " Education is the harmonious development of all our faculties. It begins in the nursery, and goes on at school, but does not end there. It continues through life, whether we will or not.... 'Every person,' says Gibbon, 'has two educations, one which he receives from others, and one more important, which he gives himself.'" John Lubbock The Use of Life ch. vii, p. 111. [ Macmillan & Co. '94.] Instruction , the impartation of knowledge by others (Latin instruere , to build in or into) is but a part of education, often the smallest part. Teaching is the more familiar and less formal word for instruction . Training refers not merely to the impartation of knowledge , but to the exercising of one in actions with the design to form habits. Discipline is systematic and rigorous training , with the idea of subjection to authority and perhaps of punishment. Tuition is the technical term for teaching as the business of an instructor or as in the routine of a school; tuition is narrower than teaching , not, like the latter word, including training . Study is emphatically what one does for himself. We speak of the teaching , training , or discipline , but not of the education or tuition of a dog or a horse. Breeding and nurture include teaching and training , especially as directed by and dependent upon home life and personal association; breeding having reference largely to manners with such qualities as are deemed distinctively characteristic of high birth; nurture (literally nourishing ) having more direct reference to moral qualities, not overlooking the physical and mental. Knowledge and learning tell nothing of mental development apart from the capacity to acquire and remember, and nothing whatever of that moral development which is included in education in its fullest and noblest sense; learning , too, may be acquired by one's unaided industry, but any full education must be the result in great part of instruction , training , and personal association. Study is emphatically what one does for himself, and in which instruction and tuition can only point the way, encourage the student to advance, and remove obstacles; vigorous, persevering study is one of the best elements of training . Study is also used in the sense of the thing studied, a subject to be mastered by study , a studious pursuit. Compare KNOWLEDGE; REFINEMENT; WISDOM.

The importance of teaching synonyms to EFL learners

As an English language teacher, you understand the importance of building a solid vocabulary base for your students. However, it can be a challenge to teach EFL learners vocabulary in a way that is engaging and effective. One strategy that you may not have considered is teaching synonyms. Synonyms are words that have similar meanings and can help your students improve their English language skills in a variety of ways. In this article, we will explore the importance of teaching synonyms to EFL learners and provide some tips for how you can incorporate this strategy into your teaching.

Teaching synonyms can help EFL learners build a more nuanced understanding of the English language

When a student learns a new word, they often learn it in isolation without any context. However, teaching synonyms can help students understand how the word fits into the broader English language system. By learning synonyms, students can start to see how different words are used in different contexts, and how these words have different connotations and shades of meaning. For example, by teaching synonyms for the word “happy,” such as “joyful,” “content,” and “pleased,” you can help your students understand how different words can be used to express similar but slightly different emotions.

Teaching synonyms can improve EFL learners’ reading and writing skills

When students have a broader vocabulary, they can understand more complex texts and express themselves more precisely in their own writing. Synonyms can help students learn to choose the right words for the right context, which is especially important when writing essays, reports, or other academic papers. By teaching synonyms, you can help students avoid using the same words over and over again, which can make their writing feel repetitive and dull.

Teaching synonyms can help EFL learners improve their speaking and listening skills

When students learn synonyms, they can better understand what other people are saying and communicate their own ideas more clearly. By using synonyms in conversation, students can avoid using vague or imprecise language, which can lead to misunderstandings. Furthermore, by learning synonyms, students can start to understand the subtle differences between different words, which can help them better understand native speakers of English and communicate more effectively in a variety of situations.

So, how can you incorporate synonyms into your EFL classroom?

Start with familiar words When teaching synonyms, start with words that your students are already familiar with. For example, if you are teaching a beginner class, you might start with synonyms for “big” or “small.”

Use visuals Use pictures or other visuals to help your students understand the different shades of meaning between different synonyms.

Play games Incorporate games and activities into your lessons to make learning synonyms fun and engaging. For example, you might play a synonym matching game or have students create their own word webs.

Provide context When teaching synonyms, provide plenty of context so that students can understand how the words are used in different situations.

Encourage creativity Encourage students to use synonyms in creative ways. For example, you might have them write a story or create a dialogue using a set of synonyms.

In conclusion, teaching synonyms to EFL learners is an important strategy for helping them build a stronger vocabulary and improve their language skills. By incorporating synonyms into your lessons, you can help your students develop a more nuanced understanding of the English language, improve their reading and writing skills, and communicate more effectively in a variety of situations. So why not give it a try in your next lesson? Your students will thank you for it!

• Jan Murphy | [email protected]

Alexa Kutch, like many educators, has made a habit of buying things for her classroom – from posters for the walls to lamps for softer lighting to decorative items sitting around the room.
