Vocabulary Building

This LINOit page gives a good summary of why vocabulary-building is crucial for an English Language Learner:

The link will give a larger-scale view of my findings on a World of Words and how it is enhances the learners ability to develop their vocabularly.
I decided to include it in my portfolio because I am a huge fan of developing word knowledge! I genuinely believe it is crucial for success. There are so many fun ways to help with the development of vocabulary. One idea that was given to me by the instructor was to include translations on 'Vocabulary Word Days' whereby children dress-up as a word, include the word in English but also include the word translated in one or more other languages. This way the ELL will feel personally connected to an activity and likely take a lot more from it! Great idea!
