Vocabulary+instruction+strategies

[]

This is a great video because it uses simple steps to break down vocabulary instruction. You can introduce students to new words through pictures and then add more information as you go along. A really great teaching tool!

[] This website has great strategies on how to teach vocabulary, including teaching cognates, scaffolding, using multimedia, modeling, audio books, and pre-teaching.

[]  This was a nice website that provided a few tips on effective vocabulary instruction for ESL learners. It included strategies such as building background knowledge, introducing the vocab before a unit, teaching vocab within content areas, explicit instruction, etc. Very useful info!  []  This was vocabulary instruction in general, not necessarily just for ESL students, but I thought it still had some very good information in it. It was a powerpoint presentation and reported on why vocab instruction is so important, the different types of vocabulary, which words should be taught, when they should be taught, and some facts about developing word consciousness in your students.
