Introduction

This digital magazine was created by Social Work students in order to illustrate the vocabulary they need to study for the present course (English 2).It contains words clouds which are a popular visualization of words. A word cloud is a beautiful, informative image that communicates much in a single glance. It also has many topic pages where English students can find images showing the meaning of the vocabulary according to a specific topic and examples using it. We hope this work be useful for other English students as a foreign language.
