2.1. Learning Vocabulary Through Flashcards on Quizlet

Quizlet is an application that was created ten years ago when Andrew Sutherland developed a tool to help himself review French vocabulary for a high school test. The learning approach suggested by Quizlet mainly involves games with flashcards. You can study by flipping flashcards back and forth or playing interactive vocabulary games to help retain the words. You can utilize this tool to master all the TOEIC contract vocabulary most effectively.

2.2. Learning Contract Vocabulary Through Mind Maps

Studying TOEIC vocabulary on contracts using a mind map combines language and visual elements. In reality, our brains process and store images far better than written words. Mind maps were created to take advantage of this ability. With mind maps, all information is stored in the form of images and words.

The information within a mind map for TOEIC contract vocabulary is interconnected, similar to how neurons link information in the brain. This creates a sense of familiarity, making it easier to retain information for a longer time. Mind maps are considered a visual information management tool that helps us memorize, organize, brainstorm, and study information in a highly specialized manner.

Using mind maps to prepare for English exams allows learners to grasp an overview of a topic first and then develop a deeper understanding of specific details. This helps to overcome information overload and saves time in the learning process.
