- Title
The Importance of Explicit Vocabulary Instruction for English Learners.
- Authors
Holguin, Lori
- Abstract
This document emphasizes the importance of explicit vocabulary instruction for English Language Learners (ELs) and students with limited vocabulary in any language. The author conducted a study where an ESL teacher taught vocabulary explicitly to a group of students, resulting in significant improvement in their vocabulary and ability to discuss the words. The study highlights the correlation between vocabulary and reading proficiency, underscoring the need for targeted vocabulary instruction to support language learners. The document also acknowledges the challenges faced by ELs, such as limited vocabulary due to low socioeconomic backgrounds and a lack of reading materials at home, and addresses the impact of cultural differences on vocabulary development and comprehension.
