021: ESL Vocabulary Instruction and Acquisition with John Wayne N. dela Cruz

Words matter. "Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble." -Yehuda Berg Today's discussion, with John Wayne N. dela Cruz, takes a look at what we know about effective vocabulary instruction, the difference in student gains between implicit and explicit vocabulary instruction and how do we choose the words to teach.

Dr. Philippa Parks joins us today to discuss learning strategies. More specifically, she talks about strategies that will help our writers become more effective.
