CONCLUSION
One principle of effective vocabulary learning is to provide multiple exposures to a word's meaning. There is great improvement in vocabulary when students encounter vocabulary words often (National Reading Panel, 2000). According to Stahl (2005), students probably have to see a word more than once to place it firmly in their long-term memories. "This does not mean mere repetition or drill of the word," but seeing the word in different and multiple contexts. In other words, it is important that vocabulary instruction provide students with opportunities to encounter words repeatedly and in more than one context.
Restructuring of vocabulary tasks
Findings of the National Reading Panel
Intentional instruction of vocabulary items is required for specific texts.
Repetition and multiple exposures to vocabulary items are important.
Learning in rich contexts is valuable for vocabulary learning. Vocabulary tasks should be restructured as necessary.
Vocabulary learning should entail active engagement in learning tasks.
Computer technology can be used effectively to help teach vocabulary.
Vocabulary can be acquired through incidental learning. How vocabulary is assessed and evaluated can have differential effects on instruction.
Dependence on a single vocabulary instructional method will not result in optimal learning.
