A Test of Meaning.
Warner, John R.
The CEA Critic, v26 n7 p4-5 Apr 1964
The need for students to use new vocabulary words in complete sentences is stressed, so that the teacher may be certain the words are properly understood and a part of the student's vocabulary. Examples show student confusion arising from a misinterpretation of the dictionary definition or a failure to recognize parts of speech. The special problems in teaching idioms are briefly discussed.
