Research on Vocabulary

Knowing a word means more
 than knowing the definition of a
 word (Scott and Nagy, 1997,
 Dale and O´Rourke, 1986)‫‏‬
Research on Vocabulary
Vocabulary instruction should
 provide
  Rich information about words and
   their uses
  Frequent and varied opportunities for
   student to think about and use words
  Enhanced student language
   comprehension and production (Beck,
   McKeown, and Kucan, 2002)‫‏‬

          Sort
             Organize vocabulary into groups

Category 1        Category 2   Category 3   Category 4
Vocabulary Activity:
        Word Sort
    Organize vocabulary into groups

Critical Attributes
 Can be open or closed (with labels
   or without)‫‏‬
  Students should justify why they
   put the word where they did
   (critical thinking)‫‏‬
Vocabulary Activity: Non-
  linguistic representation
  Picture dictionary: Create a non-linguistic
       representation of each vocabulary word.

Accomodate: To allow for; consider the
educational or emotional needs of.
Non-linguistic
       Representation
Critical Attributes
 Students must understand words
  before they create a non-linguistic
  representation of the word.
 The quality of the drawing should
  not be judged.
Vocabulary Activity
        Vocabulary Skits




Act out the meaning of your word
 without speaking.
Vocabulary Activity:
      Think-Pair-Share
Think/ Write about your
 understanding of the word.
Pair with someone to describe,
 explain or compare understanding
Share your knowledge of the word by
 creating a visual or dramatizing the
 word in order to teach it to others.
Vocabulary Activity: Matching

   Game
     Matching activity
    Find the person who has the
     picture or card that corresponds
     with yours.
Vocabulary Activity: Matching
Critical Attributes
 Should be done with words that
  will create some discussion
  representation of the word.
 Adding a picture is helpful with
  lower level students.
 Scaffold by cutting each pair
  differently
Plan a Vocabulary Activity
Think of an English lesson that
 introduces new vocabulary.
Choose a vocabulary strategy
 discussed today.
Plan how you will use it with
 that lesson.

I now know...
I think...
I wonder...
