AE Live 7.3 - Using Brain-based Strategies and Critical Thinking to Maximize Vocabulary Acquisition

This interactive webinar will focus on maximizing vocabulary acquisition for English learners with a focus on easy-to-implement classroom strategies and activities based on brain-based learning and critical thinking. The session will begin with how to assess students’ vocabulary knowledge and determine what words to teach and then move on to a discussion of how the brain learns and stores words. Strategies that will be introduced include graphic organizers, word walls, word study, word sorts, games and technology apps.
