New Facebook App to help English Learners Build their Vocabulary
British Council Launches English Vocabulary App for Facebook - Teachers and learners of English can now access a new resource to help build vocabulary and improve language skills thanks to the British Council’s latest Facebook app. Pic-Your-Wits is an interactive English vocabulary game with pixelated pictures for learners to guess the words and beat the clock. It is available on Facebook today for free.
Ann Foreman, Social Media Consultant at the British Council, said: “Each month Pic-Your-Wits responds to learners’ requests and publishes a new set of vocabulary to challenge them. Pic-Your-Wits also helps learners to practise what they’ve learnt by pointing them in the direction of more activities on the LearnEnglish website – all of which relate to the current picture set. The first picture set is of animals, so this month learners have the opportunity to read and listen to stories, poems and magazine articles on the theme of animals. Next month the game will expand with another picture set with more suggestions for activities to help learners build their language skills. In this way, an apparently simple vocabulary game will gradually be transformed into a really comprehensive learning tool.”
