How Spelling Supports Reading And why it is more regular and predictable than you may think Much about spelling is puzzling. Our society expects that any educated person can spell, yet literate adults commonly characterize themselves as poor spellers and make spelling mistakes. Many children have trouble spelling, but we do not know how many, or in relation to what standard, because state accountability assessments seldom include a direct measure of spelling competence. Nevertheless, research has shown that learning to spell and learning to read rely on much of the same underlying knowledge — such as the relationships between letters and sounds — and, not surprisingly, that spelling instruction can be designed to help children better understand that key knowledge, resulting in better reading. Research also bears out a strong relationship between spelling and writing: Writers who must think too hard about how to spell use up valuable cognitive resources needed for higher level aspects of composition.

Vocabulary Myths: Applying Second Language Research To Classroom Teaching This webpage is a summary of the above-mentioned book by Keith Folse, currently Associate Professor of TESOL at the University of Central Florida. The core of the book is a discussion of eight myths about learning and teaching vocabulary: The eight myths are: For language teachers the main insights from the research that Folse analyses are: Vocabulary is crucial to both communication and comprehension;Vocabulary needs to be explicitly taught and learned; it will not develop quickly enough through simple exposure to written or spoken language. For non-language teachers the main insights are: It is important to be aware of the English words and phrases that are likely to cause most difficulty for ESL students. Preface Folse notes that for many years until the mid 1990's researchers and teachers generally underestimated the importance of vocabulary in second language (SL) development.

Teflpedia Fonetik med iPad och dator I veckan har mina 9or för första gången fått möta fonetisk skrift. Vissa lärare arbetar väldigt mycket med det, själv berör jag det knappt alls i varken tyska eller engelska. När jag undervisade i franska lade jag mer energi på det av den enkla anledningen att stavningen och uttalet skiljer sig så markant åt i franska språket. Jag introducerade ämnet med en kort film om uttal från BBC. I appen fick eleverna på egen hand försöka förstå vad de konstiga tecknen betydde, några försökte också på eget initiativ skriva egna tecken när de fick orden stavade, vilket är avsevärt svårare. När de hade fått ungefärlig koll på hur man skulle läsa ut dem gick de vidare till kartan med ljuden, där de själva fick klicka fram ljud. Mitt syfte med lektionen: att eleverna ska kunna känna igen fonetisk skrift och kunna få någon vägledning av tecknen.
