Definition
Noun: 1. A student's book containing exercises, problems, or practice material, often with blank spaces for writing answers. * A workbook is typically used alongside a main textbook to provide practical application of lessons through written exercises, drills, or activities.
Usage
A workbook is a supplementary educational tool. It is used by students to practice and apply knowledge learned from a primary source, such as a textbook, lecture, or course. The key feature is that it contains structured tasks with space for the learner to write, solve, or respond directly within the book itself.
Examples
- Noun:
- The teacher assigned the first three pages of the grammar workbook for homework.
- Please complete the exercises in your math workbook by Friday.
- This language workbook includes listening activities and spaces for writing practice.
Advanced Usage
- Digital Workbook: In modern contexts, a workbook can also refer to a digital file (e.g., a spreadsheet file) containing multiple pages or sheets of data and calculations.
- I saved the financial data in an Excel workbook.
