Vocabulary is important because students learn to decode well and read fluently, but they do not understand what they are reading. The problem could be because they do not understand what the words mean. ELL students must learn the complex English vocabulary and ALL students must focus on increasing their vocabulary words.

It is most effective through combining direct and indirect vocabulary instruction.

Indirect would be the teacher engaging the students in daily oral language,  reading to the students, and letting the students read on their own.

Direct would be when the teacher teaches specific individual words and word-learning strategies.

Vocabulary Acquisition

Vocabulary acquisition is the process of learning new words. An adequate vocabulary is necessary for academic success. Just think about what would happen if a student didn't know the words that are written on his test. Would he be able to give the right answers? Probably not, if he doesn't even know what the question is. So, you, as the teacher, have the very important job of teaching him the vocabulary he needs to succeed both in the classroom and beyond. How can you do this? You'll need to create a list of words that are essential for your students to know academically and subject-wise. Break them down into groups of several words to teach each week. Once your list is ready, then you're ready to move onto the three essential components of vocabulary acquisition that you must incorporate into your activities. Let's take a look at what they are and what kinds of activities you can use to teach these components.

Pronunciation

The first component of assisting students with vocabulary acquisition is that of pronunciation. The student needs to know how to pronounce or say the word correctly. To help teach this component, you can have the student repeat after you several times, and then have the student say the word independently several times. For younger students, you can break up the word into its syllables and say the word slowly while pointing to each syllable. Doing this also helps teach younger students how to break up bigger words so they can read them.

An important note here is that just because a student knows how to pronounce or read a word does not mean that he or she necessarily understands the word. It is important to avoid assuming that your students know a particular word. Stick to your list, and teach all the words with equal care.
