Inthis section you will find activities to help you learn the meaning, pronunciation and spelling of new words. Learning vocabulary will help you improve your language level and communicate in English confidently and effectively. The pages are organised by topic and include interactive exercises to help you learn and remember the new words.

Improve your vocabulary with 6 Minute Vocabulary (Intermediate), our English vocabulary series for intermediate level learners. On this page you'll find a range of intermediate vocabulary programmes to boost your language skills. Each programme covers a key vocabulary point with all the explanations, examples and activities you need to become an English vocabulary champion - in just 6 minutes. Topics include hyphenation, prefixes, false friends, discourse markers, linking words, synonyms, antonyms and much, much more.

If this series is too difficult why not start with our basic vocabulary series. You can also work on your grammar with our basic grammar series and our intermediate grammar series. Then check your grammar knowledge with our complete basic grammar reference guide, intermediate grammar reference guide and upper-intermediate grammar reference guide.

I hope this message finds you well. We are currently in the process of mapping the units and wards within our hospital as part of our ongoing efforts. However, we have come across a specific challenge that we would appreciate your insights on.

We understand the importance of comprehensive and accurate mapping within the OHDSI OMOP framework, and this situation has prompted us to seek your expertise. Could anyone shed some light on why a concept for intermediate care might be missing in the vocabularies, or provide guidance on how we could approach this mapping issue effectively?

Fully define the use cases. What are the questions? Why are the questions posed that way? Are the questions proxies for something else? How do other observational health data models ask these questions?

I apologize for not mentioning in the initial post that the intermediate care bed I am looking for is of the Step Down type, as mentioned by @Mikita_Salavei (which indeed supports what @Mark mentioned: the term does not represent a well-defined type of care, as it can be interpreted as either less specialized than an ICU or as intermediate care between a hospital and a non-hospital institution).

Is PCU the same as step down? My dear nurse friend uses the terms interchangeable, but according to defined terms, that I find on the web, whist synonyms, there seems to be a bit of difference, but is the difference different enough to make a difference?

In my area, we have rural level 5 trauma units whist the more urban hospitals do not. I am not trying to be pedantic (although I probably am), but reinforcing the claim that different hospitals will have drastic differences in how they operate, more than just on location.

Research has been investigating the role of reading, as one source of input, in languagelearners' vocabulary development. The present study was designed to examine whetherintermediate learners incidentally (a) acquire and (b) retain unknown vocabulary as a result ofreading. The study further assessed (c) the effect of the text variable of exposure frequency.Learners were exposed to unfamiliar words either two, four, or six times during reading.Vocabulary acquisition and retention measured productive and receptive knowledge gain.Results indicated that only two encounters with unfamiliar words during reading significantlyaffected learners' vocabulary growth. Moreover, two or four exposure frequencies resultedin fairly similar word gain, but six exposures produced significantly more vocabulary knowledge.Retention measures showed mixed results: On productive vocabulary knowledge only half of thesubjects displayed a significant rate of retention. On receptive knowledge all but oneexperimental group retained vocabulary over 4 weeks.

Description:

In this course, students will begin learning more advanced vocabulary, specifically words useful for discussing business and economics. By focusing on vocabulary in these categories only, we will be able to spend ample time really fleshing out students will be able to better learn how to use the words in their own speaking and writing, rather than simply how to choose a definition on a test.

There are so many elements involved in learning a language, and all of them are important. Grammar, pronunciation, listening and reading comprehension, and even slang are all essential if you want to bring your Hebrew level up to speed. But there is no question that the number-one element in learning Hebrew is vocabulary. After all, without the words to describe what you want to say, no amount of grammar will save your skin. At this point in your learning journey, it makes sense to pick up some of the most useful intermediate Hebrew vocabulary words.

The TOLD-I:5 assesses spoken language in intermediate-age students. It is well constructed, reliable, practical, research based, and theoretically sound. Professionals can use the TOLD-I:5 to (a) identify students who are significantly below their peers in oral language proficiency, (b) determine their specific strengths and weaknesses in oral language skills, (c) document their progress in remedial programs, and (d) measure oral language in research studies.

The TOLD-I:5 has six subtests that measure various aspects of oral language. The results of these subtests can be combined to form composite scores for the major dimensions of language: semantics and grammar; listening, organizing, and speaking; and overall language ability.

The TOLD-I:5 yields four types of normative scores: age equivalents, percentile ranks, subtest scaled scores, and composite indexes. Percentiles provide the examiner with an index that is easily understood by parents and others with whom the test results are to be shared. Subtest scaled scores are based on a distribution having a mean of 10 and standard deviation of 3. Composite indexes are based on a distribution having a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. Age equivalents are indexes of relative standing that translate subtest raw scores to what are commonly termed language ages.

The TOLD-I:5 Online Scoring and Report System (provided as part of the TOLD-I:5 Complete Kit) was designed as a quick, efficient tool for (a) entering test session data; (b) converting subtest item scores or subtest total raw scores into scaled scores; (c) converting sums of scaled scores into composite index scores, percentile ranks, and upper and lower confidence intervals; (d) comparing TOLD-I:5 scores to identify significant intraindividual differences; and (e) obtaining a score summary and narrative report.
