One of the most important and useful tools in learning a language is a personal record of what you have learned. A written record enables students to look back on what they have done in class and refresh their memories. It also encourages them to make sure that they have a clear understanding. From CEWw 3 onwards, this idea is taken further and students build up their own personal record in a separate notebook. Practical ideas You can decide with the students what word groups they would like to build up in their notebook.
Word groups are groups of words around a common topic.
For example, they could have a page entitled 'Names of clothes' or 'Words connected with school'. Initially, you can allow time in class for students to work on their Language Record , so that you can check that they have a clear understanding of how it works.
