12. Researchers have stated that vocabulary deficiencies are a primary cause of academic failures. Research indicates that low levels of
vocabulary can have an impact on reading and therefore, writing.
These researchers profess that direct and explicit instruction of a set number of vocabulary words will improve academic success in all
content areas.
Learning 500 words each year may improve learning by as much as 10 to 30%.
For this reason, it is very important for students to quickly build up a large store of words. Research studies have shown the strong links
between having an extensive vocabulary and achieving school success.
Have you ever noticed a film heroine whose mother tongue is not Telugu, speaking Telugu?
Similarly collectors, where ever they get posted, learn the local language in a month’s time. How is this possible? What is their secret of
their speaking? - How do they achieve this?
How do they understand the language in just a few months and start talking fluently in a year?
Whatever may be the language, vocabulary is very important. If you know 2000 words in any language, you understand what the others
are talking. If we have a vocabulary of 5000 words, then we can speak fluently.
Knowing the words is not enough. We need to keep using the words while speaking, where ever possible.
This Vocabulary Builder tool has 5000 + Words which are used in our day-to-day life and can be used by anyone from a 5 year old kid to a

13. Hard skills are the specific abilities that are required for a certain job. These abilities are specific and teachable, and they can be easily
defined and measured. Usually, people learn hard skills at school or in their previous jobs.
For example, if you’re hiring for engineering roles, hard skills may include things like a professional engineer designation, experience
with welding equipment, or the ability to repair equipment. Hard skills may also include proficiency in a foreign language, like French or
Spanish.

“Soft skills” is a term used by employers to describe the personality traits and interpersonal skills required of employees to succeed in almost
any job.

point in the media, among employers and officials.
