As teachers, we have the opportunity every day to use effective strategies to support English language learners in our classroom. One significant way to help our English learners succeed is to be intentional about teaching vocabulary.
Limited academic vocabulary hinders many English language learners from reading and learning classroom content. But with effective strategies, students can leave our classroom with an enriched vocabulary bank every day!
Label everything in your classroom.
Speak to your students with rich vocabulary.
Pre-teach key vocabulary.
Use text with rich vocabulary and images.
Play vocabulary games.
Sing songs.
Teach prefixes and suffixes.
Seize teachable moments.
While English learners generally have the greatest need to expand their vocabulary, many non-English language learners – especially those from low socioeconomic communities – also have a limited vocabulary bank, so they can benefit from these strategies as well.
