Folse, Ph.D. University of Central Florida  \nMonday, April 6, 2020  \nSession 1: 8:00 AM;  \nSession 2: 5:00 PM  \n[ELTNGL.com](ELTNGL.com)[ ](ELTNGL.com)A part of Cengage  \nPractical Ideas for Teaching Academic Vocabulary Online  \nToday’s Talk  \nAs more classes are being taught online, teachers are looking for practical ways to teach vocabulary in an e-environment. Some of us are teaching synchronous classes that meet online at a set class time (using platforms such as Zoom), while others have asynchronous courses that students complete according to a set schedule (using a learning management system such as Canvas or Moodle) . Regardless of the class format, how can we best teach vocabulary? In this webinar, we will talk about the key principles of good vocabulary instruction and look at practical ideas for online instruction and how teachers can succeed in helping learners improve their vocabulary without putting an even greater strain on teacher time .  \nMy background  \n• 40+ years teaching English (and French and Spanish)  \n• Studied 6 foreign languages  \n• Research area: VOCABULARY  \n• Author of 75 ESL books  \nFormat of your class?  \nASYNCHRONOUS  \n• Not live  \n• Students work independently  \n• Often in Modules  \n• Canvas?  \n• Moodle?  \n• Blackboard?  \n• MyELT?  \nSYNCHRONOUS  \n• Live  \n• Students work both with the teacher and independently  \n• Zoom?  \n• Google classroom?  \n• K-12 district platforms?  \n3 Themes  \n1.Why vocabulary? Why online?  \n2.Which words?  \n3.What to do with the words?  \nWhy?  \nWHY VOCABULARY?  \n• Crucial to overall success  \nin any language (L1 or L2)  \n• Academic vocabulary is different from general English (but how?)  \nWHY ONLINE? Why  NOW?  \n• Online in general?  \n• Online for NOW?  \nWhat is ACADEMIC Vocabulary?  \nan  EASY question to answer a DIFFICULT question to answer  \n• Words used in academic settings?  \n• Most frequent words?  \n• Words not used in conversation?  \n• Is there one “academic vocabulary”?  \nWhich words?  \n• Should I use a word list?  \n• Which word list?  \n• But…. Words for WHAT PURPOSE?  \n• Reading?  \n• Writing?  \n• Speaking?  \n• Listening?  \nShould I use a list? WHICH LIST? More than 40 “academic”word lists  \nEXAMPLE 1  \n• Academic Word List  \n• AWL  \n• (Coxhead, 2000)  \n• 570 word families  \nEXAMPLE 2  \n• Academic Vocabulary List  \n• AVL  \n• (Gardner & Davies, 2012)  \n• 2000+ words  \nWhat to do with the words?  \n4 Practical Ideas  \n1. Work with a list  \n2. Have students see how much academic vocabulary they are using their own writing? (and maybe compare with examples of good academic writing)  \n3. Keep a vocabulary notebook (paper or online)  \n4. Practice with the MANY good online activities","cbCaihjTj9agoe9q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihjTj9agoe9q","pdf",5092413,24,"English","# Today’s Talk\n## My background\n# Format of your class?\n## ASYNCHRONOUS\n## SYNCHRONOUS\n# 3 Themes\n## Why vocabulary?
