This paper provides a variety of vocabulary strategies that classroom teachers can use on a daily basis. Effective strategies, such as student-created videos, literacy circle groups, teacher read-alouds, word sorting games, and wordplay are applicable for ELs across different content areas.  \nKeywords: vocabulary, English learners, middle school  \nIntroduction  \nFrom 2003 to 2013, the number ofELsin U.S. public schools grew from 4.1 million students to 4.4 million students (National Center for Education Statistics, 2015a) . According to recent data, approximately 5 million public school students in the United States participate in school-based English as Second Language (ESL) programs (Kids Count Data Center, 2015; Sanchez, 2017) . Of this group, 2.8 million students have insufficient spoken English skills (National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisitions, 2010) . Currently, nearly 70% of ELs read at below basic proficiency levels (National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2011) and perform 20% to 50% below native English speakers on standardized assessments for reading (Menken, 2010; National Center for Education Statistics, 2015b) . Exploring which reading strategies are most effective in working with ELs is highly warranted.  \nResearch illustrates that vocabulary knowledge places a particular burden on ELs’reading comprehension and is a significant predictor for the acquisition of writing skills (Calderon et al., 2005) . Limitations with vocabulary presents a major obstacle for ELs with learning the English language (Hart & Risley, 2003; Snow, Barners, Chandler, Goodman, & Hemphill, 2000) . Given ELs’critical need for vocabulary development in support of academic literacy, the goal of this paper is to describe engaging and effective ways to promote word study across different content areas.  \nStrategies Across Disciplinary Areas Oral Language Practices  \nOral expression and word knowledge is enhanced when teachers give middle school ELs the opportunity to use new words or practice  \ntalking about words they have learned.  \nEngaging in oral language practice activities moves beyond traditional instructional practices, such as rote definition and memorization. Instead, students are actively engaged in the learning process, increasing their vocabulary knowledge, oral skills development, and confidence levels. Suggested oral language practices for middle school ELs include studentcreated I-movie videos, show-and-tell, and author’s chair.  \nStudent-created I-movie videos. Technology applications are excellent tools to support oral English language skills and vocabulary usage in different contexts (Peregoy & Boyle, 2017; Tompkins, 2018) . Technology and collaboration strategies can be easily combined when students work in small groups to create a short 15-20 minute video. First, the teacher divides the class into small groups of three to five students. Then, the teacher gives each small group several academic vocabulary words from different content areas. Next, small group members use these words to create a storyboard for their movie. Using their completed storyboard as a guide, students compose a draft of a movie script. After small group members revise and edit their movie scripts according to teacher or peer-group feedback, they may then create their video using a moviemaker technology application, such as IMovie or Windows Movie Maker. An overview and example of a student-created I-Movie is provided below.  \nA small group of middle school ELs created a television commercial advertisement entitled “Revolution.” The small group employed a wide range of vocabulary, such as","cbCaidEy1aGr6hTT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidEy1aGr6hTT","pdf",353876,"English","# Introduction\n## Vocabulary as a driver for reading and writing\n# Strategies Across Disciplinary Areas\n## Oral language practices\n## Student-created I-movie videos\n## Show-and-tell","[{\"question\":\"Why is vocabulary important for English Learners in middle school?\",\"answer\":\"Research indicates vocabulary knowledge strongly affects ELs’ reading comprehension and predicts growth in writing skills.\"},{\"question\":\"What oral language practice strategies does the paper recommend?\",\"answer\":\"The paper recommends student-created I-movie videos, show-and-tell, and other word-focused activities that replace rote definition and memorization.\"},{\"question\":\"How do student-created I-movie videos support vocabulary development?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers organize small groups, assign academic vocabulary from different content areas, and have students draft scripts and create videos using movie-making tools, improving oral language use in context.\"}]","Effective Vocabulary Strategies for English Learners in Middle School Classrooms - Chapter 11 - Paper summary | PDF",1790594712,23]
