Or that the word for \u201cshowerhead\u201d is \u201capple of the shower\u201d (<em>pomme de douche<\/em>)?<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that the Chinese word for \u201csad\u201d is \u201cwounded heart\u201d (<em>shang xin<\/em>) and the word for \u201chappy\u201d is \u201copen heart\u201d (<em>kai xin<\/em>)?<\/p>\n<p>As tutors, we can actually provide our students with little surprises like these in every lesson. After all, our students are on a long journey to fluency, and need some delightful discoveries to keep them going!<\/p>\n<p>An easy way to do this is by revealing the core concepts behind new words.<\/p>\n<h1>What Is A Core Concept?<\/h1>\n<p>When we look up a word in a dictionary, seeing all of its meanings at once can be overwhelming. This is especially the case with the most frequently-used words.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025116\/dictionary-definitions.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"558\" height=\"459\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025116\/dictionary-definitions.png 558w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025116\/dictionary-definitions-300x247.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><br \/>\nSome of the meanings are so different that they can be treated as two separate words. For example, the word \u201cbat\u201d means both the animal and the stick used in baseball, and these two definitions have separate origins: \u201cbat\u201d (the animal) has Germanic roots, whereas \"bat\" (in baseball) comes from French.<\/p>\n<p>However, on many occasions, the different meanings of words are actually related and reflect one core concept.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025109\/core-concept-diagram.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"317\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025109\/core-concept-diagram.png 606w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025109\/core-concept-diagram-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><br \/>\nLet\u2019s look at the word \u201craise\u201d for example. We can use it in the context of \u201craising a child,\u201d \u201craising your hands,\u201d or \u201craising a price.\u201d The underlying concept behind the word \u201craise\u201d is to make something higher or bigger.<\/p>\n<p>While this may be obvious to us, it\u2019s not necessarily clear to learners \u2014 nor mentioned in dictionaries. For example, in the vocabulary exercises in our materials, we often have room to include only the definition that is most relevant to the lesson. For example, here\u2019s the entry for \u201craise\u201d from a <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/article\/tortoise-believed-extinct-found-on-galapagos-island\/JouUvjW3Eemx3MeHg2ZrAA\">Daily News article<\/a> on raising endangered animals:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025120\/raise.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"662\" height=\"154\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025120\/raise.png 662w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025120\/raise-300x70.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><br \/>\nSo it\u2019s up to us as tutors to reveal the word\u2019s core concept: \u201cYou know the phrases \u2018raise your hand\u2019 and \u2018raise the price,\u2019 right? This \u2018raise\u2019 is related. It means to \u2018care for a living thing\u2019 so that it grows bigger and taller.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can then watch your student\u2019s face light up in amazement and gratitude.<\/p>\n<h1>How To Reveal Core Concepts<\/h1>\n<p>In general, the shorter and easier the word, the more likely it is to have a variety of interrelated meanings and, by extension, a core concept.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/article\/do-you-find-small-talk-difficult\/_tVmwDBSEem0qxtDFtWyCw\">this Daily News lesson<\/a> on small talk, the vocabulary list includes the words, \u201ctip,\u201d \u201crecently,\u201d \u201cdream,\u201d and \u201cknowledge.\u201d The only word that I can identify a core concept for is \u201ctip,\u201d which we define as \u201ca piece of advice about how to do something; suggestion.\u201d Reading the definition, your student is probably thinking to themselves, \u201cI wonder what the difference between \u2018tip\u2019, \u2018advice\u2019 and, \u2018suggestion\u2019 is\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We can then enlighten them with the core concept behind the word tip. You can start by defining \u201ctip\u201d as \u201ca small edge of something\u201d (e.g. \u201ctip of the iceberg\u201d or a \u201ctip of the pen\u201d) to show them that \u201ctip\u201d sounds like something small, so it\u2019s essentially a small piece of advice.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025132\/tip-core-concept.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"623\" height=\"474\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025132\/tip-core-concept.png 623w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/17025132\/tip-core-concept-300x228.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><br \/>\nChances are, your student may already know another meaning for the word \u201ctip\u201d: that small amount of money you give to someone as a token of appreciation for their help. In that case, you can help them see that these two meanings are related since both refer to a small amount of something.<\/p>\n<h1>\ud83d\udc4b That\u2019s it for now!<\/h1>\n<p>So what do you think about the \u201ccore concept\u201d technique? Do you think you\u2019ll be able to apply it to vocabulary exercises?<\/p>\n<p>If you need help coming up with core concepts, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vocabulary.com\/dictionary\/\">Vocabulary.com dictionary<\/a> is a good resource. For example, think about how you can explain the core concept behind the word \u201cdesert\u201d (as in the \u201cSahara Desert\u201d and \u201che deserted his friends\u201d) and then see how Vocabulary.com does it: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vocabulary.com\/dictionary\/desert\">desert<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we hope you find core concepts as fascinating as we do! Happy learning and teaching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that the French word for \u201cpotato\u201d is \u201capple of the earth\u201d (pomme de terre)?
