Linking knowledge

    Sprache lernen im Vorübergehen! Lernposter

    New knowledge should be linked to what you already know. This helps to establish a connection and makes it easier to recall later.

    • Linking new knowledge with what you already know is also known as collaborative rehearsal.
    • The aim is to create a link between new information and existing knowledge or experience.
    • For example, you could try to link a new term with a personal anecdote, a memory or a familiar concept.
    • These connections help to contextualise the new knowledge and make it easier to recall later, as the connection is remembered and the new knowledge is more accessible.
