In Unlocking the Power of Academic Vocabulary, Dr. Yu Ren Dong, an
associate professor of English education at Queens College, City
University of New York, helps secondary teachers expand their
instructional repertoire to teach academic vocabulary in a
systematic, meaningful, contextualized, and exciting way. Every
secondary, subject-matter teacher will find strategies,
easy-to-integrate activities, and tips on selecting words and
planning lessons. As you teach with these strategies, your English
language learners will be able to: tap into prior knowledge through
cross-language transfer and cross-cultural comparisons; use
concept-based vocabulary, such as analogies, metaphorical language,
themes, sources, inquiry, and graphic organizers; interact with new
words in context to decipher euphemisms, words with multiple
meanings, connotation, and context clues; engage in interactive
read-alouds, think-alouds, and wordplay; and master vocabulary
through writing. Charts, student examples, suggested resources, and
subject-matter vocabulary lists give teachers the hands-on tools
they need to teach the concepts behind words as well as the actual
definitions, spelling, and sounds. Transform your academic
vocabulary instruction into an engaging, skill-building mix that
carries over into students reading, writing, thinking, and
conversations in all subject areas."
