Building Vocabulary in English Language Learners

Teachers cooperating with English learners know that academic languages ​​take time to master before conversational languages. On average, students with ELL take at least two years to master the conversational language and 5-9 years to master academic language skills. Many English words ELL students are in contact at school, they do not study either, they do not even hear their mother tongue, so knowledge transfer is impossible. There is a big difference in the ability to use conversational languages ​​and academic languages. This can be an obstacle for these students and have a lasting impact on academics and life.

In this article I will explain the successful strategy to build a vocabulary for English learners, from reading new vocabulary to activating previous knowledge to selecting scoring text. Instruction of a vocabulary can be made clear, or after reaching a certain level, it happens by chance when a student reads. In order for students to succeed in the field of literacy there are many strategies that can help to make the EESL vocabulary a basic building block. However, this field is a major problem for this country's first student, or for students who have not yet acquired English. Teachers can teach how to interpret and read to children, but speaking without a strong vocabulary has no meaning for students. "Many of these students have a fluent talked vocabulary, but many second language languages ​​(ESL) can achieve the level of reading necessary to operate at the appropriate grade level It is difficult "(Wallace, 2007).

One of the most important parts of language learning and language use is the vocabulary and the ability to use it. English teachers use different ways to teach English vocabulary to English learners, but they do not work very well. Today, English teachers teach vocabulary using various English software, but the learner's vocabulary learning ability is better than ever, but it seems that it has not been succeeded as expected. They use software such as Oxford Picture Dictionary (OPD), Longman Children's Picture Dictionary, North Rat English Teachings, a demonstration of several English books, and special vocabulary learning software including language components.
