Word-meaning is an area that has been neglected in research on teaching and learning in an additional language. Poor command of English lexicon is a major factor in under-achievement for many UK children whose access to the curriculum is through the medium of English as an additional language (EAL). In many UK primary schools teaching approaches miss opportunities to apply knowledge available in several theoretical fields. By taking word-meaning as a focus of concern, elements from semantics, and from first language development and cognition maybe combined to develop better understanding of EAL pupils' linguistic needs. The paper reports on a small-scale, primary classroom-based project, Word-Weaving, which identifies a set of strategies to manage classroom discourse in ways designed to give words and their meanings particular kinds of attention. In this project, target word-meanings related to learning objectives in UK National Curriculum topics were explored by teachers, EAL pupils and their families, and an example of this process is described. |
