"Knowing a word" involves receptive and expressive ability both orally and in text.
ELLs need to learn the high frequency words first to begin communicating.
For success in school, there are thousands of low frequency words to "know".]]> 2018-08-14 02:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/272976220 dorisbelyea2 https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/272976276 There is a direct correlation between vocabulary knowledge and academic performance. More words=higher reading comprehension=higher academic achievement.]]> 2018-08-14 02:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/272976276 dorisbelyea2 https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/272976312 -Use word charts with subject specific words for current or upcoming lessons. (provide examples of the words in context)
-Using cloze activities with possible word banks. Omit the target vocabulary words. Can vary according to level (may or may not have the correct tense or form of the word).
-use small group conversation about words and invite investigation of new words that will come up in the next lesson topic. 
-shared reading, however, this is only effective when the ELL knows 90% of the language in the text.

What opportunities for vocabulary learning can you make available daily / build into your lessons?]]> 2018-08-14 02:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/272976367 dorisbelyea2 https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/272976393 I need more information/strategies on assessing current levels. Are there formal assessment tools (ready made) that can be used for ELL like the ones used for native English speakers?
Given the amount of time needed for vocabulary building, how do we balance that with learning curriculum?]]> 2018-08-14 02:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/272976393 dorisbelyea2 https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/273033150 Need to instruct students on strategies to use to learn meanings of words.
These strategies include:
-making inferences from the context (using known words, pictures, etc)
-word analysis (using the word chart strategy include affixes with examples)
-use of dictionaries (picture for early learners, bilingual for older students with developed skills in their L1)
-instill a love of reading (can expand vocabulary and enhance understanding of sentence structure.]]> 2018-08-14 11:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dorisbelyea2/ykaudn7jjruf/wish/273033150
