Abstract
This workshop explores the importance of vocabulary learning as a critical foundation for the improvement of overall academic English proficiency. We begin by reviewing the unique characteristics of academic language and the different types of vocabulary knowledge, from receptive to productive, that are necessary for effective communication in academic contexts. We then consider approaches to teaching and learning vocabulary based on insights from instructed second language acquisition and task-based language teaching. Working with examples from the Official TOEFL Vocabulary Guide, we illustrate learner-centered techniques for designing tasks, lessons, individual practice, and assessments that will support academic vocabulary development. Participants will engage in hands-on creation of their own learning materials that emphasize the activation of vocabulary knowledge for communication purposes, and they will receive multiple related examples and templates for subsequent use.
