Advanced Vocabulary Lessons

[In each lesson, the teacher must first understand the student's prior knowledge. This is indicated by the teacher asking students to recognize words rhyming, syllables, beats, moods. After that, the student can start teaching and have confidence in the concept already knowing how to use. Another way is that the teacher observes the new idea and then gets a lot of practical opportunities. Students gain the opportunity to see the teacher complete the task before trying to use the new skills. Students will master skills with the teacher. In this way, the instructor can guide students' understanding of issues within the group. Finally, when students work independently, teachers can go to individual students to help them and deepen their understanding. In the meantime, students have the opportunity to ask questions. Through these strategies, students can access various opportunities to enable them to fully understand these concepts. Also, by group setting, the teacher can monitor the progress of each student in the course closely.

Vocabulary instruction is different from reading and contents. First, since the vocabulary of the content area is closely related to the course, students need to understand the vocabulary to understand the course. However, it is highly unlikely for students to understand the meaning of the vocabulary as it is more likely to infer the meaning from the text when reading. Next, in the content domain curriculum, the vocabulary may represent a well-known concept or not. Thirdly, because the vocabulary of the content domain is semantically related to each other, the student needs to be aware of all vocabulary terms. (Armbruster, 1992)
