What is our goal?
Helping you to boost your English vocabulary.
How?
By creative writing in your free time, by yourself or with friends.
What do I have to do?
Each week you will get a list of new vocabulary. You should write a short, cool, and funny paragraph OR a short story using all the new words. Do not forget to add a title.
You can work in pairs or in groups of three if you would love.
Then, you will upload your final paragraph here.(If you work in a group, only ONE member uploads the story.)
The English team will choose, according to a rubric, the most surprising and creative work. Finally, we will have one winner!

Rationale for the competiton
Numerous studies in Applied Linguistics have shed light on the importance of vocabulary
acquisition in language learning. Vocabulary is considered the strongest predictor for command of the four language skills namely, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. A wealth of research has shown that vocabulary is the key component in raising reading and writing ability. To promise student success, we must create a “vocabulary flood” (Nation, 1993).
The comeptition aims to teaching vocabulary in an enjoyable way.
