5. Vocabulary instruction (Loucky,
2010)
1. Create language- and word-rich learning environments.
2. Intentionally teach vocabulary selected from a carefully
selected and principled approach.
3. Target vocabulary that students already know well.
4. Develop word-learning strategies proven to be effective
in helping other learners retain and use new words.

7. Vocabulary teaching program
1. Teach words that are strategic to academic
success and not typically acquired
independently.
2. Include systematic procedures to make
students independent word learners,
primarily by helping them become
voracious readers.
Nagy, 1991

8. Vocabulary teaching strategies
"Strategies are sequences of teaching events
and teacher actions which make explicit the
steps that enable a learner to achieve an
outcome" (Loucky, 2010, p. 231).
