Vocabulary Instruction in Fifth Grade and Beyond: Sources of Word Learning and Productive Contexts for Development
Ford-Connors, Evelyn; Paratore, Jeanne R.
Review of Educational Research, v85 n1 p50-91 Mar 2015
Increasing the vocabulary knowledge of young adolescent and adolescent students has been a focal point of educational research and many teacher professional development initiatives. Yet many teachers continue to use traditional, but generally ineffective, methods of classroom-based vocabulary instruction. Synthesizing the literature around the general topics of vocabulary instruction, classroom discourse, and teacher talk, this review provides a comprehensive and critical examination of instruction that supports vocabulary learning in older students with a particular focus on practices that promote productive discussions of content.
