good name is Ben no very nice what words help you identify the meaning of the unfamiliar term sentence spending is there a way to do that is yes this is a kind of skill that all Learners must have they must develop the skill right moving on as a writer Dr Jose Rizal used several pseudonyms to hide his surreal identity so this is our unfamiliar word or unfamiliar term pseudonym and you'll hide serve as our clue or hint is very specifications name foreign tick tock tick tock I am stuck how can I unlock how can I unlock when unfamiliar words are the ones that block strategize strategize strategize vocabulary wise familiarize familiarize familiarize the words that arise since fear signals there Clues are everywhere categorized conceptualize and then contextualize context clues are the ones that died yeah so how do you find them very well done I know our Learners are enjoying while listening to tutor juvie while reading the poem all right okay um list down five words in the form that are new or unfamiliar to you again you may type your answers in the comment section below yeah five words nah I'm familiar hey yes and while waiting for their answers tutor juvie let us have the shout out we have here hello teachers high school because all the grade eight teachers and all the grade eight Learners are with us this afternoon yes oh Ayan yes so our Learners are trying to figure out what are the unfamiliar words that you can find in our poem so we are asking five right yes yes what about the children Ruby okay how about the word conceptualize oh we have answers wow very good

clue these are words that appear in sentences to help us understand the meanings of difficult words these are the words that are presentations in finding out the meaning of the unfamiliar word you become a detective detective or hints when solving a mystery you have to look for Clues to find the answer foreign foreign ERS yes you keep it up an unfamiliar term nothing famous I would like to ask all the great Learners to type their answers regarding their guesses a young foreign yes okay my stomach grows I am so famished yeah today again the little detectives of English language okay means to hunger okay while waiting for the other answer shout out for watching from agritin Elementary School South Santa Cruz District division of Davao Del Sur Ayan um okay damn this means hunger okay right now I'm hungry okay Nino yes you're right let's see okay stomach grows so my stomach grows I am so famished so the meaning of feminist is extremely hungry very good good job Learners nothing the teachers oh hey thank you so much are my different types okay so there are different types of context clues first type is definition the meaning of the unfamiliar word is just found in the sentence for example a treasure hunter is a person who searches for Treasures from sunken ships and ancient tombs to obtain valuable relics and artifacts okay so is definition a person who searches for Treasures so this type of context clue is definition by the name itself definition meaning kahulugan or meaning glue second type is synonyms synonym is the same meaning of the unfamiliar word eh example it is common for Filipinos to feel Compassion or pity for the suffering of their fellow men again yeah okay let me see you may type your answers in the in the comment section I yarn very good at Gabrielle Ayan I know [Applause] what synonymous word is found here in the sentence okay so while waiting for the answer shout out to Amy Bell her Bachelor and foreign [Music] antonym is the opposite meaning of the unfamiliar word example among the siblings of thin body structure Isabelle is the only one who is poorly Ayan and the underlined words Ruby at or hints or Clues underlying word hmm Isabelle is the only one who is poorly among all the siblings of thin body structure so right there they can analyze Twitter juvie what could be that possible answer okay but but here in our comment section tutorial view we have some actors already okay that's good very nice idea what about Dina Jimenez Finn um Angelica Keith body structure okay um okay okay very good you got it all right glue and this is comparison the meaning of the unfamiliar word is derived from comparing its intensity to a similar word in the given sentence and let's Analyze This example the stench of the garbage was like the smell of a rotten fish in the underlined words is the word stench okay stench yeah what word or words or even phrase that would tell us the meaning of the unfamiliar word or terms dance okay all right yeah this time chaturbi yes Sabine Caribbean rotten fish all right smell um rotten fish okay foreign [Applause] foreign okay and that is example it is the enumeration of kinds or types of the unfamiliar word so let's study this example in ancient times some of our forefathers believed in the amulets such as pearl of the crocodile pearl of the ax bullet necklace and bag of herbs to protect them from harm and the underlying word is amulet or the unfamiliar term okay or the new term or the term which are new to us again phrases or words that help us understand the meaning of amulets foreign okay Mark Isabella bullet necklace also again okay words that serve as our hints Angela Gabriel bullet necklace again amulets examples or hints again very good so the examples enumerated here are pearl of the crocodile pearl of the ax bullet necklace and bag of herbs okay so an amulet is a piece of jewelry that protects us from harm okay so those are the examples foreign explanation okay the description of the unfamiliar word Matthew had few infractions of the house rules that he should have done as part of his responsibilities in fractions okay foreign yes your answers a while ago are correct pearl of the crocodile info yes you're right what about this sentence Matthew had few infractions of the house rules that he should have done as part of his responsibilities okay I guess having Angelica Keith responsibilities [Applause] um again interactions from the Learners from the teachers as well then okay infractions are house rules that he should have done as part of his responsibilities hi okay so the explanation house rules that he should have done in fraction I okay infractions our households that he should have done um effect of course if that relationship is provided to derive the meaning of the unfamiliar word let's study this example since only a few followed the wearing of face mask it was made mandatory by the government the underlined word is mandatory mandatory okay since only a few followed the wearing of face masks it was made mandatory by the government the cause is only a few followed of the wearing of the face mask so the effect it was made mandatory by the government mandatory required yeah thank you so much sir Sani face mask hey since only a few follow the wearing of face mask okay mandatory Okay so the cause only of you follow the wearable face masks so you are right so meaning a mandatory required okay Nina mandatory means required face mask s it means required mandatory effect relationship okay very good and that is inference the meaning of the unfamiliar word has to be figured out from the description in the given sentence let's study this example when one shows belligerence harsh words disruptive actions and offensive behaviors can be observed right or we have to figure out the meaning of the unfamiliar word belligerence from the description in the given sentence meaning we have to infer okay the meaning of the unfamiliar word based on the description in the sentence again while waiting for the answers shut the teacher Jeffrey modular panes okay we have to infer okay let us be detectives this time Reddit learners offensive behaviors disruptive actions disruptive actions on so again okay let's find out okay very good the following descriptions are harsh words disruptive action and offensive Behavior again so I hope nobody's belligerent Learners online very good so these are the eight types of context what are those type it in the comment section below what are the

of context clues of course there are context clues used specially in cultures again these are context clues in local culture we have here following paragraphs describe some examples of Filipino culture let us identify the meaning of the unfamiliar words written in bold based on how they are used in the sentence so there are context clues also in local culture this adds local color and cultural implication meaning special terms foreign [Applause] spontaneous combustion it has many uses we use it as a remedy for snake bites as counteractive for malaria chills as an insecticide and for tanning carabao hide again so I know you context clue the word involved and that is which is very unique in the Filipino culture we Filipinos are very romantic when it comes to heart Affairs
