There is a growing body of research examining the efficacy of teaching a foreign language using procedures that would lead to generative learning. This study assessed the acquisition of foreign tacts and the emergence of bidirectional intraverbal responses (native-foreign and foreign-native) as a function of target stimulus preference. Three…

Mathematics vocabulary plays a crucial role in students' mathematics learning. However, students, particularly those with learning disabilities (LDs), encounter challenges in understanding and grasping mathematical terms. This challenge becomes more evident as students progress into the elementary and secondary grades, where mathematics vocabulary…

The middle and high school years represent a unique challenge for students who have not yet attained proficiency with word reading. By this time, it is generally expected that students will be able to independently read a variety of texts to gain content knowledge and to read for understanding. Students with or at-risk for learning disabilities…

This systematic review synthesized the literature on vocabulary interventions designed for the students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A total of 31 articles (20 single case research design studies and 11 group design studies) met the inclusion criteria. The reviewed studies included 440 participants with ASD ages 3 to 14. In general,…

This study aims to assess the overall impact of vocabulary development interventions on cognitive vocabulary outcomes. To achieve this, 43 theses on vocabulary teaching, each involving a specific intervention, were analyzed using meta-analysis. The findings from the meta-analysis, based on the random effects model, indicated that the average…

Teacher and literacy coach Catlin Goodrow offers research-informed strategies and personal reflections to help older elementary school students engage with complex, vocabulary-rich texts. Grounded in effective tools and routines, her approach focuses on the teacher-supported reading of worthy texts. Teachers will find practical resources,…

This paper details a literature review of mathematics vocabulary intervention studies for students with mathematics difficulty. The primary aim was to identify instructional practices that support mathematics vocabulary development. We conducted a database search to identify mathematics intervention studies either focused exclusively on vocabulary…

Background/purpose: This study examines how well EFL students perform in English language learning using Kagan's Cooperative Learning Approach (KCLA). Conventional teaching approaches frequently fail to actively involve students, which lowers achievement. With an emphasis on teamwork and active engagement, this study seeks to ascertain whether…

Morphological knowledge is a complex construct integral to vocabulary breadth and reading comprehension. To understand its complexity, researchers examine its dimensionality. First, this study contributes to this broad topic by investigating whether morphological awareness and affix knowledge, related concepts with a long history of investigation…

Vocabulary instruction is an important part of second language education. Research on vocabulary instruction points out the value and effectiveness of explicit instruction. Explicit vocabulary instruction should be dynamic and use a range of strategies to be most successful. Considering the importance of vocabulary instruction in second language…

This study investigates the development and implementation of a big data-driven English ecological classroom teaching model, aiming to reform university English instruction in alignment with contemporary technological advancements. The conventional teaching framework, often limited to textbooks and in-class activities, has been shown to…

This exploratory, mixed methods study proposes that pedagogical translation be implemented for biliteracy acquisition in mixed heritage language (HL)-second language (L2) secondary Spanish classrooms. It investigates the mediation of pedagogical translation for reading comprehension in two mixed HL-L2 secondary Spanish classrooms at a suburban…

In recent decades there has been renewed interest in the teaching of grammar as part of primary pedagogical practice. It is now well over a decade since the Australian Curriculum: English was released incorporating a model of language requiring the explicit teaching and understanding of grammar from both a traditional and functional perspective.…

The current study investigates whether vocabulary breadth, vocabulary depth, and vocabulary fluency contribute differentially to L2 reading and listening comprehension. One hundred and thirty-eight EFL learners first took three vocabulary knowledge tests that measured vocabulary fluency, vocabulary breadth, and vocabulary depth. Subsequently, they…

The use of digital tools for second and foreign language lexical learning is increasingly popular and research in this area is constantly expanding. However, little has been written about specific criteria that could be used to identify tools with high-quality lexical input, as available checklists and frameworks for digital media tend to neglect…
