15 | msfrenchteach | 10/25/2012 | 5:03 PM | So, what are some best practices for vocab acquisition in your classroom? I like to use real photos for thematic vocab in chunks. #langchat | ||
16 | placido | 10/25/2012 | 5:03 PM | And I am from Michigan! How do you help your students acquire vocabulary? What are best practices? #langchat | ||

20 | Catherineku1972 | 10/25/2012 | 5:04 PM | #langchat I have been supplementing our drawings w/comptines (nursery rhymes) & authentic lang apps on our iPods. The combo is memorable. | ||
21 | msfrenchteach | 10/25/2012 | 5:04 PM | Anyone use Pinterest to display photos? I make thematic pinboards and type the French word in the caption box. Still building... #langchat | ||
22 | LauraJaneBarber | 10/25/2012 | 5:05 PM | #Langchat discovery lessons through exploring text--we created blogs in which students can figure out words from context clues | ||
23 | laurenna725 | 10/25/2012 | 5:05 PM | something is started this year was EVERYDAY i show 5 words after the warm up and use TPRS style ?ing. It's like my post warmup #langchat | ||
24 | tmsaue1 | 10/25/2012 | 5:05 PM | I absolutely love tonight's question! "acquire vocabulary" so much better than teaching vocab, or introducing vocab. #langchat | ||
25 | swoodward723 | 10/25/2012 | 5:06 PM | Just got home from singing French classics @ international dessert night! Bonsoir! #langchat | ||
26 | Catherineku1972 | 10/25/2012 | 5:06 PM | #langchat Cloze activities with ads, music, and Cle International CDs. Students commented today on their improvements/enjoyment. | ||
27 | ouiouicestlavie | 10/25/2012 | 5:06 PM | #langchat hey from Louisiana! Excited about tonight's topic, I like songs and pictures to teach vocab. Ready for more ideas! | ||
28 | katchiringa | 10/25/2012 | 5:06 PM | I inundate my AP students with auth materials and ask tons of questions--best way for them to acquire vocab #langchat | ||
29 | msfrenchteach | 10/25/2012 | 5:07 PM | @swoodward723 That sounds like fun! Is that a club at your school. I think we need an international dessert night. :) #langchat | ||

41 | katchiringa | 10/25/2012 | 5:08 PM | for intermed ss, I mix old and new vocab together in a variety of ways #langchat | ||
42 | Catherineku1972 | 10/25/2012 | 5:09 PM | #langchat I think they like the nursery rhymes because it helps them learn from ground up the about cultural knowledge. | ||

51 | LauraJaneBarber | 10/25/2012 | 5:11 PM | #Langchat we don't have lists anymore. Often do brainstorms based on pics--they may say word in Eng or use circumlocution and I write in TL | ||
52 | LauraJaneBarber | 10/25/2012 | 5:12 PM | #Langchat also, focus on less words at a time. Less words = more meaningful and more likely to stick in the brain | ||
53 | klafrench | 10/25/2012 | 5:12 PM | I love to use simple authentic material. For example, this week w/my 2s, we read vintage French food posters. #Langchat | ||
54 | trescolumnae | 10/25/2012 | 5:12 PM | @tmsaue1 @LauraJaneBarber Yes! Repeated use + compelling, fascinating context = key to acquisition! #langchat | ||
55 | MartinaBex | 10/25/2012 | 5:12 PM | @laurenna725 What are some strategies that you use to help students learn vocabulary in songs? #langchat | ||
56 | WCEPS | 10/25/2012 | 5:12 PM | Encouraging news from College Board re: #ELLs via ed week. New kinds of test for college admittance.Thoughts? http://t.co/twmevR5s #Langchat | ||
57 | espanolbartlett | 10/25/2012 | 5:12 PM | one think I'd like to experiment with - student driven vocab lists. Does anyone do this? #langchat | ||
58 | placido | 10/25/2012 | 5:12 PM | @LauraJaneBarber I don't use lists either unless it is a list we generate based on a text or topic of discussion. #langchat | ||
59 | CoLeeSensei | 10/25/2012 | 5:12 PM | @hidetag Sometimes we have a thematic board game I make up - they play and add onto their vocabulary without me teaching it. #langchat | ||
60 | klafrench | 10/25/2012 | 5:13 PM | I love songs as well. They can remember those lyrics and sometimes use vocab from them. #Langchat | ||
61 | MartinaBex | 10/25/2012 | 5:13 PM | ((I am having major technical difficulties participating in this chat from school--sorry for duplicate posts)) #langchat | ||

63 | swoodward723 | 10/25/2012 | 5:13 PM | Also my school just announced today they are starting 7 th gr lang next year!!! Not 5th gr. But a start #greatday #langchat | ||
64 | LauraJaneBarber | 10/25/2012 | 5:13 PM | “@espanolbartlett: one think I'd like to experiment with - student driven vocab lists. Does anyone do this? #langchat� yes! | ||

66 | tmsaue1 | 10/25/2012 | 5:13 PM | important to remember every strategy doesn't work for every student. just because some like it, doesn't mean it helps all #langchat | ||
67 | c_macd | 10/25/2012 | 5:13 PM | I love using music and highly graphic texts to engage with vocabulary. I find it helps students put the new words in context #langchat | ||
68 | DiegoOjeda66 | 10/25/2012 | 5:14 PM | These are the things that I always keep in mind while working with new vocabulary: #langchat | ||

70 | CoLeeSensei | 10/25/2012 | 5:14 PM | @hidetag Most of my students are learning an L3 with English as the L2. Visuals are key #langchat | ||
71 | msfrenchteach | 10/25/2012 | 5:14 PM | Ss are inspired to learn new vocab/expressions when it has real world application.Nice when u hear that they tried it on parents. #langchat | ||
72 | klafrench | 10/25/2012 | 5:14 PM | Modeling is also key. I say a phrase/write a phrase, then have them repeat it/rewrite it with their own ideas. #Langchat | ||
73 | trescolumnae | 10/25/2012 | 5:14 PM | @espanolbartlett Yes, with upper-level students (Latin IV and above) where we use st-driven themes to choose texts. Works well. #langchat | ||
74 | CoLeeSensei | 10/25/2012 | 5:14 PM | @hidetag @tmsaue1 Absolutely - it's important to offer up the vocabulary in a variety of ways - audio, visually etc! #langchat | ||
75 | MartinaBex | 10/25/2012 | 5:15 PM | Students must see vocabulary in a wide variety of contexts. Statements, questions, placement w/in phrases, varied interpretations #langchat | ||
76 | shannon_lorenzo | 10/25/2012 | 5:15 PM | @msfrenchteach love that idea, need to start building one as well #langchat | ||
77 | ouiouicestlavie | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | @MartinaBex this should come naturally in 90% TL, right? Do we have to take special measures to show a word in every form? #langchat | ||
78 | klafrench | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | Immediately applying/using new vocabulary in real context always helps as well. We call it "writing to learn" at my school. #Langchat | ||
79 | placido | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | I am struggling w ss who are used to seeing isolated vocab. Now expected to use in context...having a harder time. #langchat | ||
80 | DiegoOjeda66 | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | 1- Create opportunities for your students to use each new word at least 9 times in context. (For two weeks units). #langchat | ||
81 | CoLeeSensei | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | @MartinaBex And if they do this while interacting with several students in class in meaningful activities they get varied 'input' #langchat | ||
82 | msfrenchteach | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | RT @klafrench: Modeling is also key. I say a phrase/write a phrase, then have them repeat it/rewrite it with their own ideas. #langchat | ||
83 | LauraJaneBarber | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | #Langchat on our rubrics, "self-selective vocabulary" counts as one of the multiple vocab groups | ||
84 | swoodward723 | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | #langchat how about integrated performance assessment?! Any opportunity for st. to negociate meaning= acquisition | ||
85 | msfrenchteach | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | @swoodward723 That's awesome news! Congratulations! It's definitely a start. I would be so happy if that happened at my school! #langchat | ||
86 | espanolbartlett | 10/25/2012 | 5:16 PM | @trescolumnae How do you create assessments and plan? I love the idea, just makes me nervous to "go in blind" :) #langchat | ||
87 | DiegoOjeda66 | 10/25/2012 | 5:17 PM | 2- Don't be afraid to allow your stds to make connections between their native language and the TL. #langchat | ||
88 | tmsaue1 | 10/25/2012 | 5:18 PM | @diegoojeda66 why 9? #langchat | ||
89 | klafrench | 10/25/2012 | 5:18 PM | @DiegoOjeda66 Exactly, most of what we do in Novice is rely on/examine cognates. #Langchat | ||
90 | trescolumnae | 10/25/2012 | 5:18 PM | @espanolbartlett We select topics 1-2 wks in advance. Ss help me develop the final project-type assessment. They self-select voc #langchat | ||
91 | CoLeeSensei | 10/25/2012 | 5:18 PM | @hidetag @placido For me an interpersonal activity: pair info gap etc to make the leap from 'word' to 'use' helps #langchat | ||
92 | sonrisadelcampo | 10/25/2012 | 5:18 PM | RT @tmsaue1: RT @tmsaue1: key to true acquisition is the lack of translation. don't force students to learn it twice. #langchat | ||
93 | msfrenchteach | 10/25/2012 | 5:18 PM | @shannon_lorenzo There are teachers out there who have already made thematic vocab pinboards. I've been meaning to ask on Twitter. #langchat | ||
94 | placido | 10/25/2012 | 5:18 PM | Students need to hear and read vocab MANY times in CONTEXT before it will be ACQUIRED. Isolated words on flash cards = NO. #langchat | ||
95 | MartinaBex | 10/25/2012 | 5:18 PM | @ouiouicestlavie It is natural, yes, if you are using the TL in class. #langchat | ||

99 | shannon_lorenzo | 10/25/2012 | 5:19 PM | @msfrenchteach I'm just starting to understand the goldmine that is pinterest for teachers. #langchat | ||
100 | DiegoOjeda66 | 10/25/2012 | 5:19 PM | 3- Use social media, Facebook, Twitter, Skype to connect your stds to stds in other countries so they can USE the vocab. #langchat |
