Mini Glossary of English Learning Terms

When reading resources on English learning, you might encounter some  terms and abbreviations that are completely new to you. It happened to me some time ago and still  do now.  They are so basic that we feel ashamed to ask people what they actually mean. What makes things worse is we are way too lazy to research on our own. 

There are various terms and abbreviations we had better to get acquainted with or else we will get lost while people are talking about them, or while your lecturer is lecturing about one of those terms and abbreviations.

These are some terms and abbreviations that I gathered after a little research on the web since I assumed knowing what they mean is essential for us.
