- All students, even native English speakers, are learning and developing vocabulary as they progress through school. This means that ELLs are learning double - both what they peers are learning as new, and what they already know from previous years.
-  receptive knowledge (understanding the meaning of a word) is usually much greater than productive knowledge (the ability to use that word effectively).  Thus the process can take some time before reaching that second stage, compounded by the difficulty faced by ELLs in manipulating different word forms and more high-frequency words
- Types of vocabulary found in school: general academic words (relevant to all subject areas and schooling); subject-specific words (connected to a particular subject area); and highly-specialized or technical vocabulary (Extremely low-frequency words that are only rarely used).]]> 2018-07-01 18:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/opdrigo88/hnueek5jrzd5/wish/269084627 opdrigo88 https://padlet.com/opdrigo88/hnueek5jrzd5/wish/269084650 - Keep students' Zones of Proximal Development (Vigotsky) in mind so as to challenge them, but not overwhelm them
- From Grabe, only a fraction of the lexicon that we learn is commonly used.

- Make sure that students are working within their zone of proximal development (Vygotsky) and are challenged, but not overwhelmed by the text.
- Shared reading
- Small-group conversations about words
- Word charts
- Cloze sentences
- Making inferences from texts
 - Word analysis
- Using dictionaries or other references]]> 2018-07-01 18:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/opdrigo88/hnueek5jrzd5/wish/269084665 opdrigo88 https://padlet.com/opdrigo88/hnueek5jrzd5/wish/269084689 - How much vocabulary is enough? Are my students able to accurately understand and/or respond to the question without confusion?
- How can I minimize confusion for students when studying new units or subject areas?
- Are my students actively using the new language learned? Am I allowing them opportunities to do so?]]> 2018-07-01 18:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/opdrigo88/hnueek5jrzd5/wish/269084689 opdrigo88 https://padlet.com/opdrigo88/hnueek5jrzd5/wish/269084694 - Does learning concepts overlap with learning vocabulary OR does the latter precede the former?
- What of developing vocabulary through listening? How does that compare with developing through reading?]]> 2018-07-01 18:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/opdrigo88/hnueek5jrzd5/wish/269084694
