ELL Conference 2012: Building Vocabulary for Teaching ELLs

Jennifer Hixson s presentation will focus on why vocabulary development is the most important part of English as a Second Language development; what vocabulary development really means for ELL students; how teachers can help students learn vocabulary when it is needed for content instruction, how to use the resources available in the classroom to help students learn, the impact of a limited vocabulary on student work and the caveats we must remember when assessing student work.
