Synonyms and hypernyms

http://visualidioms.blogspot.com/

Learning idioms is a great way of expanding one's vocabulary. Encourage your students to search for synonyms and hypernyms when learning new words from the posts. Their writing and speaking will improve if they avoid using the same word over and over again. There are a lot of aspects to know about a word; being able to recognize and come up with a suitable synonym is one of them. Paper dictionaries provide learners with this type of information.
