A computerized system and method of teaching vocabulary to a student includes an application that provides words to the student that he or she has previously used in a writing effort. The previously words are utilized to automatically create an individualized vocabulary assignment. The user is instructed to learn the new vocabulary words by breaking the words into their suffixes, prefixes, roots and word origin and/or history. The student is encouraged to create a word history or etymology of the word to understand the history, the language of origin, and the language from which the word is borrowed. The student is then instructed to use the vocabulary word(s) in a sentence. A teacher, instructor or an online tutor may monitor the completion of the various assignments by the student and may also monitor how well the assignments are performed. |
