  • Answers to Queries
    • A foreign language is best learnt in context.
    • Students don’t need to know so many words.
    • Learning vocabulary through Vocablearning has no advantage over guessing from context
    • Students can guess the meaning of the unfamiliar words that they encountered.
    • The scheme may have adverse effect on English learning, in particular, the students will misuse the words that they learn through the scheme.
    • Learning Vocabulary is not as important as other aspects in learning a language.
    • The school is using English Builder and Vocablearning is a duplicated effort.
    • Even though the students have marked improvement, it cannot prove that there is no other more significant factor affecting the performance of a student.
    • The promised improvement seems to be miraculous and questionable.
    • About a quarter of the students got an “H” in the assessment, so the exercise should be discontinued.
    • The exercise can be carried out as a voluntary activity.
    • The scheme by-passed the formal decision making channel
    • The scheme costs the school $4500 a month.
    • Paul Yip may have financial interest in the project.
