Research questions In this study , the aim is to compare between two strategies in teaching vocabulary. The first strategy is presenting vocabulary in semantic related sets , and The other strategy is presenting vocabulary in semantic unrelated word sets. These two strategies will be applied on two groups of students studying English in secondary school.
Thus, the main question of this study is : Are these two strategies in teaching vocabulary (in semantic related sets and unrelated word sets) are equally effective in acquiring and learning new words in the two sample groups of the students ?
Research Methodology: This study is going to be made by the participation of two groups of students who are learning English as a second language in a secondary school in Dammam . the first group consists of fifteen students from

The aim of the pre- test is to make sure that the words which are going to be presented to students , using the two strategies , are new to all of the students in the two groups . The lessons are going to be given in the following weeks .
Pre -Test :
In the first lesson , students are going to be given a list of words containing around thirty English words . Then , students are going to be asked to mark the words they have already known . After that , ten words , that all the students do not know , are chosen to be presented by using the unrelated word set and other ten words chosen to be presented by using the semantic related set.
Presenting the new vocabulary : The ten new words, which are chosen , are going to be presented to the students as follows . The unrelated words are going to be presented on the second week and the related words will be presented on the fourth
Ashley has been extending her knowledge of math this year. She is continuing to work on concepts above grade level. Her facts are becoming faster and she is applying them in a variety of ways. She is feeling more and more confident in her skills and is always eager to learn more.
“ The students will read the first sentence of each paragraph in the text. Each student is going to skim the text. (Appendix 4) Then they are going to discuss the main idea of the text in pairs. The teacher elicits answers.
The ideas presented in Anabelle 's paper reflected on her understanding of Zinn 's history and brought ideas that I, personally, never thought of, which showed her critical thinking skills. She grasped the core of Zinn 's writing thoughts and contributed her own ideas, which I agreed with, and the level of vocabulary and language Anabelle used also allowed for her essay to be easily read and persuasive. I really admired her interpretations because they were accurate and I was able to tell she spent time interpretating Zinn 's words and ideas. Her use of language and certain vocabulary emphasized the points she was getting across, also her quotes. The quotes helped Anabelle 's thoughts, but she didn 't source them, which would had made her essay
The first goal is student will correctly produce /ch/ in 8 out of 10 opportunities during 3 randomly selected sessions as measured by performance based assessments. The two objectives of this goal is student should be able to produce in isolation and student should be able to produce in words (initial, medial, final). The second goal is student will correctly produce /th/ and /l/ without verbal/visual cues in 8 out of 10 opportunities during 3 randomly selected sessions as measured by performance based assessments. The two objectives of this goal is the student will be able to produce in phrases and sentences and produce while asking/answering questions. The first thing I will have the student do is read books with /ch/, /th/ and /l/ words in them.
Figure 1 is a summary of the students’ learning throughout the learning segment. I administrated this test as a pre-assessment prior to the lesson one and administered it again after the completion of lesson 3. This test is a compilation of students’ learning and it demonstration how they met the standards and objectives that were set out for them to achieve. The evaluation criteria in which this assessment and all other assessment in the individual lessons did was not altered. Even though the students have different learning needs, the assessment met all of the needs for all learners.

These social groups do not have specific criteria to be followed when joining them (Carter 304). The members often join then unconsciously like as if they are drawn to it. The cliques are always many. The rich students would group up together, the baseball players, those based on socioeconomic status and those based on race. Among all of these groups, those of race and ethnic background are the ones that showed a distinct difference in educational performance.
I realized that the perfect source of students would be my peers . The class was off to a slow start; there were only eight students attending our class. Due to the low participation, each student received valuable individual instruction. After the class raised each student’s score by an average of three points, word quickly spread and the class became a
The words ending with ‘ing’ as well as words having ‘n’ at second last position are presented. Both types of words are same in number and also there are some distracter words in it. Once the participant finishes reading the words he will be given a distracter task of writing even numbers from 1to 20 for unlearning of words. After that the participant will be asked to write down all the words with ‘ing’ ending and words with ‘n’ at second last position which he had seen in the experiment within 60 seconds. The after the experiment is done the participant will be give debriefing that is the information about what the experiment, the purpose and the origin of the theory of the
.5 Explain how own practice in planning inclusive teaching and learning has taken account of theories, principles and models of learning, communication and assessment. My delivery of teaching and learning has a strong foundation of the theories, principles and models of learning, communication, and assessment to enable me to make my teaching and learning inclusive and therefore more effective. First and foremost, my body language when teaching is very important. I ensure my posture is positive and assertive. When considering the Behaviourism Learning Theory, I ensure I have high expectations for behaviour, and I demonstrate positive behaviours in the classroom from the very beginning, this ensures that all students know where they stand in
The student began to work with his group after the talk with the
Describe some teaching strategies that can be used to explicitly teach vocabulary. Vocabulary knowledge is critical to reading comprehension. There are different effective strategies that teachers can use with different age students: - Pre-teaching new words (teaching new words prior to the new reading experience; the teacher before to teach a new content has to determine new words by previewing reading materials, define and discuss the meaning of these words with students) - Keyword method (new words are introduces before reading by giving students a word clue – a part of word definition, or illustration) - Word maps (the teacher determines words to be taught, for each word child has to make a graphic organizer) - Root analysis (the teacher is focusing on teaching the commonly occurring part of the words – suffixes, prefixes, roots; when students are able to break sown words into parts they are able to determine words’ meaning) - Rearrangement of reading material (the teacher can replace the difficult words with the easier ones to help students to comprehend
School and teachers can influence the extent and quality of learning for all students. Teacher’s beliefs, practices and attitudes are important for understanding and improving educational processes. They are closely linked to teachers’ strategies for coping with challenges in their daily professional life. Educators have control over numerous factors that influence motivation, achievement and behaviour of students. They are turning around their approach into a focus on creating positive school climate and responsive classroom as part of holistic quality education based on child rights where there is effective teaching and classroom management, thus enhancing students’ learning experiences.
