Functional Vocabulary

Functional Vocabulary was designed to provide practice for people who must enhance their vocabulary beyond standard dictionary definitions.

In this program users are asked to select the best description of a picture displayed on the screen. The descriptions are functional statements about the pictures displayed rather than labels or dictionary definitions. For example, while the dictionary definition of a trash can is container for garbage, a practical statement about a trash can is that it may have an odor. This program uses Real-Life pictures. These are pictures that appear on the screen as photos. There are over 500 photos available.
