WHAT IS THE
IMPORTANCE OF
CONTEXT
CLUES?
19
It helps the readers to know the unfamiliar/
complex words. Learning the meaning of a word
through its use in a sentence or paragraph is the
most practical way to build vocabulary, since
dictionary is not always available when reader
encounters an unknown word. We must be aware
that many words have several possible meanings
and only by being sensitive to the circumstances
in which a word is used can the reader decide
upon an appropriate definition to fit the context.
