Clark  \nDepartment of Linguistics and English Language, BYU Master of Arts  \nThe focus of this thesis was to develop vocabulary materials to supplement those already in use for emergent literate Burundian refugees preparing for the U.S. Citizenship Test. These learners study in conjunction with the International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City, Utah, and with volunteer tutors who help them study. The flashcards and supporting activities were designed to better enable tutors to teach learners highly-dense vocabulary items, as well as to provide vocabulary scaffolding support for both learners and tutors and to increase depth of vocabulary knowledge with the target vocabulary. The U.S. Citizenship Test Vocabulary Flashcards and Vocabulary Support booklet were the products of a frequency-based vocabulary analysis to provide content-focused vocabulary instruction. This thesis details the steps and rationale of the process used to create these materials.  \nKeywords: Vocabulary, ESL, Emergent Literate Learners, Flashcards, Frequency, Refugees  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  \nI would like to thank everyone for their contributions to this project; for their unfailing support and motivation in helping this project reach completion. I appreciate the feedback, forbearance, and patience of my committee members, for the support of friends and family, as well as the cooperation of the International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mostly I would like to thank my parents, family, and friends who tirelessly supported and motivated me at every step of the way.  \niv  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………..………..ii  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS………………………………………………………………………iii  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS…………………………………………………..……………………..iv  \nLIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES…………………...................................................................v  \nCHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION…...………………………………………………………...1  \nCHAPTER TWO: REVIEW OF LITERATURE...………………………..………………..…….8  \nCHAPTER THREE: CREATION OF A TUTOR ASSISTED VOCABULARY TOOL.......….13  \nPhase 1: Vocabulary Collection and Organization……...……………………………….13  \nPhase 2: Creating flashcards……………………………………………………..………15  \nPhase 3: Developing a Vocabulary Support Booklet………………………...…………..19  \nCHAPTER FOUR: FINAL PRODUCT……………………………………………………..…..22  \nCHAPTER FIVE: CONCLUSION...…………...……………","cbCaimXvgxIe1ESb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimXvgxIe1ESb","pdf",2483793,146,"English","# Abstract\n# Acknowledgements\n# Table of Contents\n# List of Tables and Figures\n# Chapter One: Introduction\n# Chapter Two: Review of Literature\n# Chapter Three: Creation of a Tutor Assisted Vocabulary Tool\n## Phase 1: Vocabulary Collection and Organization\n## Phase 2: Creating flashcards\n## Phase 3: Developing a Vocabulary Support Booklet\n# Chapter Four: Final Product\n# Chapter Five: Conclusion\n# References\n# Appendix A: List of 100 Most Frequent Words\n# Appendix B: List of 30 Most Frequent Phrases\n# Appendix C: Alphabetized English to Kirundi Dictionary\n# Appendix D: Questionnaire for IRC Volunteers\n# Appendix E: Vocabulary Support Booklet and Flashcards","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the thesis?\",\"answer\":\"To develop vocabulary materials that supplement existing instruction for Burundian refugees with emergent literacy as they prepare for the U.S. Citizenship Test.\"},{\"question\":\"Who uses the vocabulary materials and how are they supported?\",\"answer\":\"Learners study with volunteer tutors in Salt Lake City, with instruction supported by International Rescue Committee resources.
