Learning Words
Lynne Cameron Chapter 4
Organisation of words: Function words will be acquired trough repeated use in different contexts. Content words can be taught more directly
Vocabulary Development:
Children learning a foreign language need very concrete vocabulary that connects with objects they can handle or see
The realistic target for children learning a foreign language is around 500 words a year (in good learning conditions)
Learning a word takes a long time and many exposures to the word used in different situations. In this way, conceptual knowledge grows as children experience more and more of the world
The middle of a general to specific hierarchy is particularly significant for children's foreign language learning
-
When foreign language words are learnt, they are likely to be mapped on to first language words and enter schemas that have already been built up
