The Contextualised Word Family Model of Direct Vocabulary Instruction.

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 3

Abstract

A review on direct vocabulary instruction of past studies has contributed pertinent knowledge which has led to the formulation of a new theoretical perspective and the introduction of the Contextualised Word Family (CWF) Model. This proposed model offers a rich, systematic, structured and principled strategy of vocabulary acquisition. It is developed based on pertinent steps, models and principles of effective direct vocabulary instruction as revealed in literature of past studies. This model employs word families which are vital prerequisites for learners to function effectively in all the language skills. Besides, tier two or high frequency words are used to form the word families in this present model. It also integrates a contextualised approach and a word family to explicitly teach vocabulary to second language learners to boost their vocabulary acquisition and writing skills.
