In regard to different disciplines, there are two major categories of vocabulary—the specific academic vocabulariesassociated with particular disciplines as well asgeneral vocabularies shared by the disciplines.
The researchers recommend https://visuwords.com and visualthesaurus.com for a visual mindmap of a word.
It's important for teachers to choose words and phrases carefully, words should relate to conceptual learning (i.e., technical words) and those that build upon the reader’s linguistic knowledge (i.e., general academic vocabulary).
Using a knowledge rating scale would a good idea to check students background knowledge.
Make sure use a kids-friendly definiton, websites like:https://kids.wordsmyth.net/we/ and https://www.britannica.com/dictionary would be some good resources.]]> 2022-11-13 03:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/KirstyLin/v6pbw43sz4x1updk/wish/2381320093 KirstyLin https://padlet.com/KirstyLin/v6pbw43sz4x1updk/wish/2381322636 Question 1:
