155. Optimizing Vocabulary Instruction for ELLs: Teaching Different Tiers Effectively


Listen Later

Are you ready to transform your vocabulary teaching strategies for English Language Learners?

In this episode, host Beth Vaucher dives deep into practical and research-based methods to help ELLs master vocabulary across three crucial tiers: foundational Tier 1 words, versatile Tier 2 words, and specialized Tier 3 terms.

Discover how to create a language-rich classroom by teaching words in context, where they stick better than rote memorization. We explore how to manage cognitive load, ensuring students aren’t overwhelmed, and share a step-by-step process to select and teach the right words effectively.

You’ll learn how to plan lessons intentionally, incorporate visual aids like flashcards and anchor charts, and find meaningful ways to engage students with vocabulary in their reading, writing, and discussions.

This episode also emphasizes the importance of cultural connections, shades of meaning, and how to adapt vocabulary instruction for students at different language proficiency levels.

Whether you’re working with newcomers or advanced learners, these techniques will empower your students to absorb and apply new words with confidence.

Join us for actionable tips to make vocabulary instruction more effective, engaging, and impactful for every student in your classroom!
