The document discusses improving vocabulary skills among students in rural Kenyan schools. It notes that students and teachers currently struggle with vocabulary, as shown by low test scores. The most important factor in improving students' vocabulary is teachers' involvement in teaching and practicing vocabulary. However, teachers are currently falling short and their methods are outdated. The document argues that teachers must embrace new assessment approaches and prioritize improving their own vocabulary skills and strategies for teaching vocabulary. By committing more time to developing vocabulary in themselves and their students, teachers can help boost English language skills and ultimately transform learning outcomes for students.
