quizlet.com

[In an effort to keep track of useful materials--so I can find it again when I need it--I'm collecting links to stuff that I've had good luck with using in class. I'm indexing it, along with my own materials, over here and here.]

A colleague recommended this website to me the other day.
I suspect I'm coming late to this party.  Everyone already knew about this website already except me, right?
Well, better late than never I guess.  Anyway, I've been very impressed with it so far.  It's a great way to encourage students to practice vocabulary items.  I can create card sets, invite my students with the link, and then there are multiple games the  students can play with these vocabulary items.  It's really cool.
I've been trying to emphasize vocabulary more in my class ever since I read The Lexical Approach by Michael Lewis.  (Review coming...eventually.  I'm really behind in my book review project these days.  But anyway...)  But I've found that just giving the students a vocabulary list every lesson has not been very motivating for them.  This quizlet.com website looks like it could be the answer to get my students studying more vocabulary.

The colleague who recommended this website to me recommended it for IELTS classes specifically.  One of the great things about quizlet, he said, is that you can search it for vocabulary cards other people have already created and just use those.  And indeed a quick search of quizlet reveals lots of IELTS flashcards already made, as well as many cards based on the Academic Word List.  (The Academic Word List, a list of all the most common words that occur in academic writing, is usually recommended studying for IELTS.)

So far, however, I've just been using quizlet for my intermediate general English class.
Up until now, I had been giving them a vocabulary list to review at home at the end of every class (the vocabulary words were all words from the textbook page for that day's lesson.)  But now I've also been putting these words up on quizlet, and encouraging my students to study the words there.

Since these specific vocabulary selections are chosen as review from the lesson, this particular selection is probably of interest to no one outside of my class.  But for whatever it's worth, below is the link to the card set I've created.  If I end up creating any more sets on quizlet in the future, I'll also link to them from this post.
UPDATE: Actually as it turns out, in the few short weeks since I discovered quizlet, I've gone quizlet crazy.  So below is the full index of every thing I've created.

Stuff of General Interest 


The Academic Word List
There's a lot of stuff for the academic word list already on quizlet, which means that me creating my own quizzes is somewhat re-inventing the wheel.  However, creating my very own versions had certain advantages.  First of all, it meant that there were no previously saved high scores on the games, so my students could compete against each other directly on a blank slate.
Secondly, it allowed me to increase the word load gradually by 5 words per day.  (The common assumption in TESOL is that 5 new words at a time is the perfect amount of new vocabulary to introduce--I'm not sure if that's scientific or if it's just dogma, but whatever.)
Instead of just adding new words into the same set, I chose to create an entirely new set each time I added 5 new words.  This is because the scores on the games don't reset when you add new words, and I didn't want my students to be stuck with the high score mark from the first 5 words when they were trying to do the games for 70 words.
I followed the Academic Word List by the various subsets, alphabetically within each subset.

* Academic Word  List--the first 5 words
* Academic Word List--the first 10 words
* Academic Word List--the first 15 words
* Academic Word List--the first 20 words

Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics

I decided there was no sense in letting my students have all the fun on quizlet, and so I started created some study sets for my own benefit and professional development.  I've been gradually entering (and studying) all the terms in the Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics.  I've done this also in 5 word increments, for the same reasons mentioned above on the Academic Word List.

Type Vietnamese. The quizlet folder for these sets is labelled Type Vietnamese.  Which is accurate (Thankfully).  But the individual sets are labelled Vietnamese to English, which is actually a misnomer.  All of these sets are seeing the English, and typing the Vietnamese.  But because I had labelled the first set wrong, and this set was a reverse of the first set, the mislabelling carried over.

 Addendum:

Here is a sheet I created for my one of my classes when I was using the quizlet as an independent study while I was conducting one-on-one interviews with the students.  The link on the sheet is of course unique to that particular class, but can be changed.  Google drive, docs, pub.

The Quizlet challenge

Step 1.  Go to the vocabulary for Intermediate B: https://quizlet.com/_1gc5i5

Step 2.  Log-in to quizlet.  (You can either sign in with your Facebook or Google account, or you can create your own quizlet account.)  You will need to log-in in order to save your scores for the various games.

Step 3.  Click on learn.  Complete all the words.

Step 4.  Click on speller.  Complete all the words.

Step 5.  Click on test.  Complete the test, and check your answers.

Now, you’re ready to play the games.  See if you can get the highest score in the class.

Step 6.  Play scatter.  Did you get the top score?  If yes, brag to all your classmates.  Do a victory dance.  Run around the room and tell everyone how great you are.  Tell them you have the highest score, and challenge them to beat you.
          If no, try again to get a higher score.

Step 7.  Play space race.  Did you get the top score?  If yes, brag to all your classmates.  Do a victory dance.  Run around the room and tell everyone how great you are.  Tell them you have the highest score, and challenge them to beat you.
          If no, try again to get a higher score.

Second Addendum

I recently got some feedback from my manager, who observed that I was putting way too much work into these quizlets.  In addition to being a lot of work for me, he said it wasn't good for the students because it didn't give them any control over the words that were being studied.  In order to encourage learner autonomy, I should have the students create their own quizlets.  

 In response to that, I created a class account that all the students had access to.  (I shared the login name and password with them).  Then after each unit, the students were instructed to choose 3 words that they wanted to learn from the textbook, and enter those words in the shared quizlet.  I would start each quizlet out by writing down the first three words.

 A generic version of the instruction handout (docs, pub) I used to is below:
Step 1: choose 3 words that you want to learn
Step 2: log into quizlet.
Username: ****INSERT USERNAME****
Password: ****INSERT PASSWORD****
Step 3: Go to: ****INSERT SETNAME****
****INSERT URL****
Step 4: Enter your 3 words.
You may use any dictionary you wish, but I recommend http://dictionary.cambridge.org/
I recommend you change it to “Learner’s Dictionary”
Try to put in one example sentence for each definition.  But blank out the actual word.
Try to choose a picture, if possible.  (Quizlet has a limited choice of pictures, so if you can’t find a good picture don’t worry about it.)
Step 5: Log out, and then log in again under your personal quizlet account.

Complete Speller, Learn, Test, Scatter, and Gravity.
