CONTEXTUAL GUESSING

Contextual guessing is a strategy used to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word. The purpose is to use the context (the words and sentences around the word).

There are different types of context clues:

• By definition

•By comparison

• By contrast

•By example

CONTEXTUAL GUESSING: DEFINITION

Contextual guessing By Definition occurs when a word that you don´t know is defined or explained right in the sentence.

E. G.: The Treasure Hunt (a game in which players, with the aid of clues, compete in trying to find hidden articles) is a fun activity which has been organized for students who want to practice their speaking and listening skills.

CONTEXTUAL GUESSING: COMPARISON

Contextual guessing by Comparison occurs when you can figure out the meaning of a word such as: also or like that indicates comparison.

E. G.: Jason was astounded when he won the first place, and I was also surprised.

CONTEXTUAL GUESSING: CONTRAST

Contextual guessing by Contrast occurs when you can figure out the meaning of a word beacuse the sentence contains a word such as but or however that indicates contrast.

E. G.: My jeans are filthy, but my shirt is clean.

CONTEXTUAL GUESSING: EXAMPLE

Contextual guessing by Example occurs when you can figure out the meaning of a word beacuse the writer gives an example to help explain an unfamiliar word. Expressions like such as, for instance, for example, and like introduce example clues.

E. G.: Junk food, such as hamburgers, French fries, and pizza, is often a big part of a teenager´s diet.
