READING SHOPPING, MY FAVORITE THING TO DO

A. Read the text and underline all the words about clothes and accessories.

Shopping! Oh, I love shopping. It’s my favorite

thing to do. It’s relaxing and entertaining. I think that I
spend most of my salary shopping for clothes and
accessories. It’s my passion. I have a closet full of all
kinds of clothes, shoes and accessories but I always
want to have something new. Whenever I have time
and money, I go to the malls of my city and I buy jeans,
pants, skirts, blouses, jackets, sandals, high heels,
tennis shoes, dresses and much more. About
accessories, I always want a new pair of glasses or a new watch. I usually buy trendy clothes and accessories. I
don’t like to look old-fashioned.
My favorite place to buy a blouse, skirt or dress is a boutique. When I need jeans, I go shopping to the
malls as they have different options for me. In the case of shoes, I usually go downtown, there are many shoe
stores and I have so many options. I never buy clothes on flea markets or in department stores because later
you see many people with the same shirt as you and I hate that, I love to have a unique style. Well, now I’m
thinking about what I am going to buy this weekend. I need a pair of black boots and red flats, also a new scarf.
I guess this will be a busy weekend for me!

 PROGRAMA DE FORMACIÓN EN IDIOMAS - FICHAS DE VOCABULARIO
Traducido y adaptado del libro de Paul Nation “What do you need to know to learn a foreign
language?”

Cómo usar fichas de vocabulario: la estrategia de aprendizaje de vocabulario consciente más importante es
el aprendizaje por medio de fichas de vocabulario bilingües. Las fichas de vocabulario son pequeñas fichas de 6
cm x 4 cm que tienen una palabra o una frase del idioma extranjero en un lado y la traducción en el idioma
nativo de esta palabra o frase en el otro lado. Cada estudiante hace su propio conjunto de fichas. Instrucciones
para los estudiantes:

1. Escriba en fichas de vocabulario las palabras que necesite aprender que se trabajan en la clase
de inglés y el vocabulario de los libros de lectura por niveles que se asignan en el semestre.

2. Escriba la palabra en la pequeña ficha con su pronunciación en un lado y su traducción en el

otro lado. Esto ayuda a que usted recuerde la palabra después del primer encuentro. Cada vez que usted
recuerda la palabra se fortalece la conexión entre la forma y el significado de la palabra. Si usted escribe la
palabra en el idioma extranjero y al frente su traducción no hay fortalecimiento de esta conexión.
6cm

Bump
/ bʌmp/ 4 cm

Chichón

E.g. The man has a bump

on the back of his head.

3. Repase las palabras tratando de recordar la traducción del otro lado. No voltee la ficha demasiado
rápido cuando no recuerde la traducción de la palabra. Usted debe tratar de recordarla sin mirar la traducción
por unos instantes. Si no recuerda la traducción, voltee la ficha para ver la traducción. Después de mirar la
palabra y su traducción ponga la ficha en medio del conjunto de fichas para que la vuelva a repasar rápido de
nuevo.

4. Al comienzo, empiece con pequeños conjuntos de fichas –alrededor de 15 o 20 palabras. Las

palabras difíciles deben estudiarse en pequeños grupos para que haya mayor repetición y procesamiento más
profundo. A medida que el aprendizaje se vuelva más fácil, incremente el número de fichas –más de 50 palabras
en un conjunto de fichas parece ser inmanejable porque se hace difícil mantener las fichas juntas y estudiarlas
todas a la vez. Mantenga grupos pequeños de fichas en su bolso, maletín, bolsillo para estudiarlas cada vez que
usted tenga unos minutos libres.

5. Espacie las repeticiones. La mejor forma de estudiar las fichas es repasarlas unos pocos minutos después
de haberlas escrito, luego se deben estudiar una hora después, luego al siguiente día, luego dos días después,
luego una semana más tarde y finalmente un par de semanas después. Esta repetición espaciada es mucho más
efectiva que repeticiones masivas juntas en una hora de estudio. La cantidad de tiempo invertido en el estudio
de las palabras puede ser el mismo pero los resultados son diferentes. Las repeticiones espaciadas dan como
resultado un aprendizaje de larga duración.

59
6. Use técnicas de procesamiento profundo con las palabras que son difíciles de aprender como
la técnica de la palabra clave. Piense la palabra en contextos situacionales. Divida la palabra en partes, si es
posible. Entre más asociaciones usted pueda hacer con la palabra, mejor la recordará.

7. Asegúrese que las palabras de escritura parecida o de significado parecido no estén juntas en
el mismo conjunto de fichas. Esto significa que los días de la semana no se deben aprender juntos. Lo
mismo aplica para los meses del año, sinónimos, números, antónimos, nombres de prendas de vestir, frutas,
partes del cuerpo, cosas en la cocina, etc. Estas palabras interfieren unas con otras y hacen que el aprendizaje
de vocabulario sea mucho más difícil.

8. Continúe cambiando el orden de las palabras en su conjunto de fichas. Esto evitará que se aprenda
el significado de una palabra por la cercanía a otra palabra en el conjunto de fichas.

9. Diga la palabra en voz alta. Esto ayuda a que la forma de la palabra entre en la memoria de largo plazo.

10. Escriba frases u oraciones que contengan las palabras de las fichas cuando esto sea necesario.
Esto se aplica particularmente a los verbos. Algunas palabras se aprenden mejor en frases o en imágenes
mentales.
