My students do vocab when they do their listening journals. Vocab could be taught more organically through lectures/videos we do.]]> 2016-12-11 12:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/bt7nv5fqjhvc/wish/142986363 I agree with the comment about vocab arising from more lectures/videos. Or focus on AWL list specifically not just what was in a TED talk. https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/bt7nv5fqjhvc/wish/143031499 2016-12-12 01:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/bt7nv5fqjhvc/wish/143031499 Ss need more practice with learning / using / recycling vocab. Both strategies and actual practice. https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/bt7nv5fqjhvc/wish/143159431

]]> 2016-12-12 16:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/bt7nv5fqjhvc/wish/143159431 I am still trying to get my head around vocabulary. I think the best way to improve vocab is by reading. So what can we do in ALS? We can give them chances to practice with unknown vocabulary via Listening. They already know all of the strategies (eg. guessing from context, etc.), but we need to give them practice dealing with unknown words when listening....various ways to do that. They want words and we just gave them a handful. https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/bt7nv5fqjhvc/wish/143519142 2016-12-14 03:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/bt7nv5fqjhvc/wish/143519142
