This study investigates teaching/learning vocabulary. Mainly, studying the techniques used by EFL teachers in teaching vocabulary and also learners’ strategies to learn vocabulary. The particular research parameter that will be used in this study is the questionnaire for gathering data; the researchers are going to describe the phenomena under investigation. Students’ questionnaire was supposed to examine the strategies that are adopted by learners for learning vocabulary in English. In addition to that there was teachers’ questionnaire that is supposed to examine the techniques, which are used by teachers in teaching new vocabulary. The study reveals how secondary school learners use a variety of vocabulary learning strategies. Students as teachers preferred many of these strategies and techniques that help a lot in pushing the process of learning and teaching vocabulary forward. Overall students and teachers know high frequency vocabulary and how to use it.

Implementation of Theories into Practice and Strategies Considering Compatibi...YogeshIJTSRD
Various aspects are known regarding the impact of vocabulary teaching on word knowledge, word association, word family, reading comprehension, different kinds of reading, cognitive and psychological factors of learners. But the implementation of theoretical knowledge and the impact of applied theory based knowledge on teachers and the students cooperation towards developing a rich repertoire of vocabulary has not been properly investigated. The goal of this study is to analyze the diverse vocabulary learning strategies, effective teaching style, and the implementation of theoretical knowledge at the secondary school level. This paper will follow up on analytical studies that investigate the content and context embedded learning and the instructions through theories for getting the authentic proof of the students achievement in vocabulary learning. This study will also suggest some guidelines to follow to facilitate the students effectively. This paper will focus on analyzing various strategies in terms of teaching and learning vocabulary, especially at the secondary school level.

Speaking English is usually considered for the students as an ability very difficult to learn and practice at school. In the EFL class they prefer to use their L1 to interact with their teacher and classmates.
For this reason, this action research is focused on the increase of the communication between the students and the teacher in English in a Chilean school with students at the age of 11 years old.
The results showed that one of the most important factor is the lack of confidence, practice and knowledge of this vocabulary.
Giving them the tools and creating an eye-catching project with the students is possible to change this situation and make a change in the life of your students learning a new language.

How a teacher presents information and motivates students to talk in English can seriously decide the efficiency of an English class; therefore, teachers need to explore sufficient approaches to stimulate students to talk. Coaching students to be involved in the process of communication can greatly satisfy individualized English learning. The author here will analyze teaching speaking based on multimodality and put forward some suggestions for English learners and teachers.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

24. The Framing Principles of Teaching High-Level Mathematics to English Language Learners in the Middle Grades
25. The Framing Principles of the Turning Points Tool English language learners have a right to learn high-level mathematics in the middle grades. English language learners should move forward with their conceptual math growth, while simultaneously accelerating their skills in number sense and numerical skills. English language learners learn best in a school-wide and classroom culture of high expectations. English language learners have a deep and broad range of prior knowledge that links directly to the critical concepts of middle grades mathematics. This prior knowledge can be used as a important resource to support the learning of all students. 1-8A
26. The Framing Principles (continued) T he best instructional practices for teaching high-level mathematics to all learners are the best practices for English language learners. English language learners need additional support that is uniquely designed to meet their linguistic and cultural backgrounds in learning high-level mathematics. English language learners need to speak and listen to others throughout their math classes in order to master the mathematical reasoning of high-level mathematics. English language learners must learn the language of mathematics to explain how they solved a problem and why they took the steps they took. English language learners may use their native language as a needed support when they are first learning a concept, while at the same time developing their fluency in using the language of math in English. 1-8B

28. Who are the English language learners in our schools today? English language learners are the fastest growing segment of the school population. 1 out of 10 students enrolled in public schools is an English language learner. * English language learners are expected to be 30% of the school age population by 2015. Nearly 1 out of 3 students enrolled in urban schools is an English language learner. The percentage of English language learners enrolled in schools is increasing throughout the United States, in suburban, rural as well as urban communities. * see handouts for citations of all statistics presented in workshop 1-9A

31. English language learners enroll in schools speaking many different languages. Who are the English language learners in our schools today? The great majority in the United States as a whole are native speakers of Spanish.
32. English language learners have a strong desire to receive an education. They have the highest daily attendance rate of any segment of the school population. English language learners have the lowest out of school suspension rates of any segment of the school population. However, English language learners have the lowest standardized test scores of any segment of the school population. English language learners have the highest dropout rate of any segment of the school population. What do we know about their experience in our schools? Why do you think this is so? THINK PAIR SHARE WRITE 1-10A 1-10B
34. Please read “ Learning the Language of Mathematics in the Middle Grades: The Specific Challenges for English Language Learners.” Mark one important idea you want to discuss with your group. Be prepared to tell the group why you think this particular idea is important. 1-11A,B
35. Get into groups of three. We will now model and practice another small group discussion protocol. It is designed to provide an opportunity for English language learners to discuss and rehearse their ideas with others in small groups before they share them with the larger group. Choose a timekeeper.
