Mnemonics (tecniche mnemoniche) sono delle tecniche di memorizzazione efficaci. They are simple tricks students can use to help commit spelling words to memory. Associating the spelling of a word (or part of a word) with another word has proven to be a useful learning strategy. Providing students with some existing mnemonic examples will help them understand the concept, but students will be more successful if they create their own mnemonics for the words they have trouble spelling.
Let's look at an example: Secretary contains the word "secret" - Therefore an ESL learner may think of the following mnemonic sentence:
My secretary can't keep a secret.
