31.088 - Deconstructing Vocabulary to Inform Practice: Investigating Different Aspects of Vocabulary Knowledge With Diverse Learners
Fri, April 17, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Sheraton, Floor: Ballroom Level, Sheraton IISession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Vocabulary knowledge is a key determinant in reading comprehension and is emphasized in new college and career readiness standards as foundational to academic success. This session presents innovative research that examines facets of vocabulary knowledge in diverse school-aged students (English Learners and non-English Learners) in Grades 3-8. The session reports on a measure of general academic vocabulary, student connective knowledge and related instructional techniques, student knowledge of phrases, and practitioner knowledge of vocabulary learning and instruction. Each paper draws on word sources and vocabulary corpora empirically reflective of the kinds of words in current academic texts. Data sources include a mix of researcher-developed instruments and standardized measures.
