It includes a range of programmes, strategies, and resources for vocabulary learning, together with the evidence base and key research underpinning them. Chapters offer a plethora of word-learning activities, ideas, and downloadable resources for implementation in the classroom, small groups, and individually to meet the needs of pupils with differing levels of language and cognitive ability.An essential resource for speech and language therapists, secondary school teachers, and support staff, this book will give readers a deeper understanding of the significance of language, along with an extensive practical toolkit to help teach and enhance the vocabulary learning of older children and young people.

Recensioner i media

An evidence-based approach to language instruction or language intervention, this book offers a wealth of unique and innovative ideas and activities for building vocabulary and word-learning skills in students… [and] will be a welcomed addition to the library of any school-based speech-language pathologist, classroom teacher, or other professional who works with adolescents. I heartily recommend this new resource for those who wish to carry out state-of-the-art practice.Marilyn A. Nippold, PhD, Professor, Communication Disorders & Sciences, University of OregonI have been eagerly awaiting this book. As a specialist language teacher, with an interest in enriching vocabulary for all, the combination of clinical knowledge and evidence-based strategies for whole class teaching is second to none. Chapter six describes a package of vocabulary intervention designed for whole class teaching and includes a sample schedule of how to incorporate it into your classroom practice. This readable book is a must for all secondary school staff!Trish Hicken, Specialist Language Teacher Lincolnshire County Council, NAPLIC
