This year, I have been given a unit to research and implement programmes to accelerate oral language development. At this point, I am only at the beginning phases of the research and I am trialling different methods in my class. For now, I have a set of 36 high vocabulary words to introduce to the students each term as core vocabulary. As our school inquiry is about water with a focus on scientific processes, I have been focussing my vocabulary list around water and science. Below is the vocab wall developed by the students in term 2. Each student is the expert of 1 or 2 words. They have researched its use and meaning, then through a donut sharing have taught it repeatedly to different classmates.
