Preface
Because students benefit greatly from increase word power, the study of vocabulary should be enjoyable. Unfortunately, vocabulary workbooks often lose sight of this goal. To help make the study of vocabulary an exciting and enjoyable part of study, I have written Interactive Vocabulary. The sixth edition of this book keeps the elements that make learning vocabulary enjoyable and adds new features in response to comments offered by instructors across the country who teach vocabulary and reading courses.
The goal of this book--the first level in a three-book interactive series--is to make the study of vocabulary fun through a variety of thematic readings, self-tests, and interactive exercises. As a casual glimpse through the book will indicate, these activities involve writing, personal experience, art, and many other formats. The goal of these activities is simple: to utilize individual learning styles in order to help students learn new words in a large number of contexts.
Underlying the text''s strong visual appeal is the philosophy that an essential part of learning vocabulary is repeated exposure to a word. Interactive Vocabularyprovides nine to ten exposures to each vocabulary word within the main chapters of the text, plus additional coverage in the Review chapters and through the flash card and word map activities explained in the book. More opportunities for exposure can also be found in the Collaborative Activities and games in the Instructor''s Manual.

前言
因为词汇量的不断增加会让学生受益匪浅,所以词汇的学习本应该是一件令人愉快的事情。但不幸的是,词汇工具书往往忽略了这一目的。所以,为了使词汇学习成为学习中令人兴奋和愉快的一部分,我写了《互动词汇》这本书。这本书的第六版不仅保留了那些能让词汇学习变愉快的元素,还增加了一些新的内容,用以回应全国各地的词汇课及阅读课老师对本书提出的建议。
本书是三本词汇系列书中的第一本,它的目标是通过各种主题阅读、自我测试和互动练习使词汇学习充满乐趣。大致浏览一眼本书便会发现书中所设活动涵盖了写作、个人经验、艺术以及各种其他形式。这些活动的目标很简单,即利用学生的个人学习风格,帮助他们在大量的语境中学习生词。
本书强大的视觉吸引力背后隐含着这样一个道理----学习词汇必不可少的一步便是反复接触单词。《互动词汇》一书中,每个主要章节涉及的单词均有九到十次的曝光机会。此外,书中各复习章节以及本书介绍的单词闪卡和联想图表等活动会再次提到这些单词。教师版用书中的协作活动及其他活动中也还会多次提到这些单词。
