To effectively develop vocabulary and academic language, research identifies a combination of direct and indirect instructional practices that support English Language Learners across content areas. Students will benefit from a consistent approach to vocabulary instruction as part of routines that foster listening, speaking, reading and writing in English.

In this workshop, participants will examine:

• Why vocabulary development is critical to student success

• How to identify the academic vocabulary needed for success in the subject area

• Criteria for selecting key words from the content for direct instruction

• How to plan a vocabulary lesson for explicit direct instruction

• Instructional routines to teach word learning strategies (context clues, morphology, dictionary use and cognate awareness)
