your vocabulary. This is called defining words using context clues.

This module will allow you to test your vocabulary, learn new words and utilize
strategies in understanding unfamiliar words in sentences or paragraphs. After
which, you will be able to assess yourself on how rich your vocabulary is and find
ways to improve it. In addition, this will also help you reflect and contemplate on our
colorful and diverse culture.

As you go through this lesson, you will be able to enrich your vocabulary and
decode unfamiliar words easier which will lead you to better understanding of the
sentence or paragraph.

What strategy did you use?

Now that you have given meaning to the unfamiliar words, let us clear
your doubts as we proceed to the discussion of the different types of context
clues.

5
 What is It

In order for you to discover the meaning of a word in the sentence or paragraph
without using a dictionary, you must learn how to use context clues.

What are context clues?

Context clues are words or bits of information in the surrounding text that
might be used to derive the meaning of an unknown word. There are five types of
context clues. These include definition or restatement, example, synonyms,
antonyms, and inferring meaning.

Five Types of Context Clues

5. Definition or restatement
Words and punctuation marks that signal a restatement or definition include:
is, who is, which is, that is, in other words or dashes, commas, and parentheses.
Example: The Philippines is considered a melting pot which is a place where
people of different races, religion, beliefs, and tradition blend
together as one.
The word melting pot means a place where people of different races, religion,
beliefs, and tradition blend together as one. You are able to give meaning to the
unfamiliar word which is melting pot by analyzing the sentence. The “which is” signals
that the words that follow are the definition of the unfamiliar word. The context clue in
the sentence is which is a place where people of different races, religion, beliefs, and
tradition blend together as one is the meaning of the word. Take note of the signal
words.
2. Example
A new word is related to a familiar word or words. The new word may be an
example of a familiar term or the familiar term may be an example of the new word.
Example: One of their trademarks is hospitality like welcoming the guests with
a big smile and treating them warmly.
Notice that in the sentence, the unfamiliar word is hospitality. Ways on how
Filipinos entertain visitors are stated after the word hospitality which signals the
meaning of the unfamiliar word. The context clue is like welcoming the guest with a
big smile and treating them warmly. Thus, the word hospitality means being
welcoming, pleasant and warm to visitors.

6
3. Synonyms
A word with a similar meaning to the new word is included in the context.
Example: This diverse and varied culture makes Filipinos unique from the rest
of the world.
As you analyze the sentence, Filipino culture is unique because it is varied.
So, diverse and varied mean the same. The context clue is varied. In other words,
diverse means varied or consists of different cultures.

4. Antonyms
A word opposite in meaning to the new word appears in the same sentence or
in one nearby. Often, the antonym appears in the same position in the sentence as
does the new word.
Example: Despite of the modern influence, they still retain their traditional
practices.
The word traditional and modern have opposite meaning. The context clue is
modern which is signaled by the word despite. Thus, traditional means old practices.

5. Inferring Meaning
Sometimes, even without specific clues, you can infer the meaning of the
word through the other words in the context.
Example: They don’t easily give up as resilience is one of their traits.
In order to draw out the meaning of resilience, one must analyze the sentence
well. You would infer that Filipinos don’t easily give up. The context clue is don’t
easily give up. Thus, resilience means being able to get up or recover in times of
failure.

The Land of Promise

Contrary to the popular belief that Mindanao is perilous, most of its territories
are safe and peaceful. Beyond the troubles in a few of its areas is an amazing scenery
and a reflection of fascinating Philippine culture. Mindanao’s ethereal beauty is due
to its beaches with clean and clear waters, green and thick mountains and forest and
of course, its beautiful people with colorful cultural heritage. The spectacular views
of its different tourist spots are attractive to the eyes of tourists all over the world.
Despite the cultural diversity, it is important for Mindanaoans to retain their cultural
