Session Submission Summary

Examining Vocabulary Practices Through the Lenses of Linguistic Frameworks and Analytic Tools

Fri, April 4, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Convention Center, Floor: 200 Level, 204C

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Despite the essential role of vocabulary in reading proficiency, theoretical frameworks for vocabulary practices have often been incomplete or lacking (e.g., Pearson, Hiebert, & Kamil, 2007). The four papers in this symposium draw on recent theory and tools from linguistics to address critical aspects of school vocabulary practices. The aim of bringing these papers together in one symposium is to increase attention within the educational community to available paradigms and tools from recent work in linguistics.
