They note them, translate them, sometimes dutifully highlight them. Then they forget.<br data-start=\"2866\" data-end=\"2869\" \/>Ebbinghaus\u2019 forgetting curve does its job: without a spaced revision, a word learned today disappears in a few days.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3000\" data-end=\"3213\">WordWise (gently) imposes a revision ritual on the phone. The student finds his words, manipulates them, tests himself.<br data-start=\"3118\" data-end=\"3121\" \/>It is not magical. It is mechanical.<br data-start=\"3159\" data-end=\"3162\" \/>But that is why it works.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quelques_scenarios_concrets\"><\/span>Some concrete scenarios<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3259\" data-end=\"3614\"><strong>In English lessons,<\/strong> you are working on a text around the <a href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/2022\/12\/tout-comprendre-sur-le-climat-ou-presque\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">climate change<\/a>. Students identify unknown words. Instead of writing them down on a flying sheet, they save them in WordWise with the tag <em data-start=\"3473\" data-end=\"3490\">\u201cEnvironment\u201d<\/em>. The following week, before approaching a new document, five minutes of flashcards were enough to reactivate the vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3616\" data-end=\"3868\"><strong>In Spanish<\/strong>, you approach the lexical field of the house. Each student builds their own list. Some add emojis (\ud83d\udecb\u0627 for <em data-start=\"3752\" data-end=\"3758\">sof\u00e1<\/em>, \ud83d\udebf for <em data-start=\"3768\" data-end=\"3775\">ducha<\/em>). Others note an example sentence. Vocabulary becomes personal, appropriate, alive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3870\" data-end=\"4061\"><strong>For differentiation<\/strong>, the interest is obvious. The comfortable student moves towards more complex words. The one who needs to consolidate the bases revises at his own pace, without public exposure.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lautonomie_comme_objectif\"><\/span>Autonomy as an objective<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4105\" data-end=\"4307\">What makes the tool interesting is the posture it encourages.<br data-start=\"4188\" data-end=\"4191\" \/>The student chooses his or her own words. He decides when to revise. He visualizes his progress.\u00a0And this simple move \u2013 from the passive notebook to an active personal tool \u2013 often changes the relationship to vocabulary.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe title=\"Introducing Wordwise!\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jjHjWskPlv0?start=9&#038;feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Les_points_forts_et_%E2%80%A6quelques_limites\"><\/span>Strengths and \u2026 a few limitations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4472\" data-end=\"4625\">WordWise is playing the free card (for now).
