I came across this article on the Nieman Journalism Lab website, and it made me wonder if educators at the college level do anything to encourage students to expand their general vocabulary (as opposed to discipline-specific). Or is this considered too “high school”? If you are integrating vocabulary into your college teaching work, how do you do so?
