Growing interest in students’ vocabulary
Recent evidence of inadequate vocabulary of HK university entrants
Most 2004 entrants to CUHK knew between 2000 and 3000 English words only
International research suggests that students need at least 5000 words to cope with university study in English
Vocabulary Study

Features of Hong Kong student writing
Repetition of key words (need for lexical substitution)
The need for lexical enrichment (adjectives and adverbs)

Lexical substitution: “ piano”
“I had learnt piano for five years. My mother encouraged me to take piano examinations until I was ten. Sometimes I was tired of touching the piano… After a bad experience, I never learned piano any more. I do not dare to play the piano even now.”
Too many pianos?

Lexical expansion of a first draft
“Every Sunday we visit the home of my grandparents. They live in an apartment in a housing estate in Shatin. My grandmother cooks lunch. After lunch we walk in the park.”
What activities can you design to enrich the above text?

word combinations
paradigmaticapproach
syntagmaticapproach
![Page 16: 1 Vocabulary projects conducted by EMB ProjectsParticipantsExpected Outcomes Vocabulary Study Focus Groupwordlists for KS1, KS2, KS3 & KS4 Seed Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cd75503460f9499fcc5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Paradigmatic approach (topic strand)
Deliberate organization of words into hierarchies
Develops associative networks Encourages efficient vocabulary learning Paradigms are fixed (but ‘open’) Other associations are more personal (e.g.
acoustic, visual, ‘linkword’)
![Page 17: 1 Vocabulary projects conducted by EMB ProjectsParticipantsExpected Outcomes Vocabulary Study Focus Groupwordlists for KS1, KS2, KS3 & KS4 Seed Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cd75503460f9499fcc5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Assumptions about paradigmatic arrangement
Allows for efficient vocabulary growth because the system is ‘open’ and allows for additions
Associated with receptive vocabulary knowledge in particular
Retrieval of words operates through the ‘cohort’ principle

What is the missing word?
How many superordinates could teachers introduce at the primary level?
![Page 23: 1 Vocabulary projects conducted by EMB ProjectsParticipantsExpected Outcomes Vocabulary Study Focus Groupwordlists for KS1, KS2, KS3 & KS4 Seed Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cd75503460f9499fcc5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Focus on vocabulary size?
“In my neighbourhood there is a library, a hospital, a swimming pool, a health centre, a cinema, a police station, a railway station and a bus station.”
Good vocabulary, but how are learners supposed to USE these words?
![Page 24: 1 Vocabulary projects conducted by EMB ProjectsParticipantsExpected Outcomes Vocabulary Study Focus Groupwordlists for KS1, KS2, KS3 & KS4 Seed Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cd75503460f9499fcc5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
More ideas on expanding pupils’ vocabulary
Exploring the familiar words:
- different parts of speech (e.g. ‘shoulder’
as the noun and the verb)
- other meanings of a word (e.g. ‘head’ as
a body part, the school head)
- metaphorical use of a word (e.g. moving) Using specific words (e.g. shout, whisper)
Can you think of other words?
![Page 25: 1 Vocabulary projects conducted by EMB ProjectsParticipantsExpected Outcomes Vocabulary Study Focus Groupwordlists for KS1, KS2, KS3 & KS4 Seed Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cd75503460f9499fcc5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Syntagmatic approach (collocation strand) E.g. Topic: transport
Car – drive – fast – wet – road
Brakes – skid – collide - accident Develops associative networks Word combinations are the key to productive
use of English Focus on multi-word units (e.g. ‘See you
later.’, ‘Have a good trip!’) Collocations (e.g. ‘go shopping’, ‘have a
shower’, ‘play football’)
![Page 26: 1 Vocabulary projects conducted by EMB ProjectsParticipantsExpected Outcomes Vocabulary Study Focus Groupwordlists for KS1, KS2, KS3 & KS4 Seed Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cd75503460f9499fcc5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Assumptions about syntagmatic arrangement
Associated with productive vocabulary because it is based on the words which tend to occur together in sentences
The associations are based on collocations rather than semantic categories

Teaching implications Raising pupils’ awareness of how words
are related:
Knowledge of word formation and word association
Giving definitions and details Using the name of the superordinate (e.g. flat) Using the names of the member (e.g. living
room, bedroom, kitchen)
![Page 29: 1 Vocabulary projects conducted by EMB ProjectsParticipantsExpected Outcomes Vocabulary Study Focus Groupwordlists for KS1, KS2, KS3 & KS4 Seed Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cd75503460f9499fcc5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Vocabulary building skills recommended in CG
Word formation
Affixation (e.g. unhappy, careless) Compounding (e.g. foot+ball=football) Conversion (e.g. cook a meal, a cook) Derivation (e.g. excite, exciting,
excited, excitement)

30
Vocabulary building skills recommended in CG
Word association Synonyms (e.g. happy, glad) Antonyms (e.g. bright, dark) Homonyms (e.g. catch a bus, catch a cold) Collocation (e.g. make a wish, watch TV) Lexical sets (e.g. furniture – table, chair,
desk, cupboard)

31
The use of mini-activities / games in vocabulary learning and teaching
Adding fun elements Designed to integrate newly acquired
words into the learner’s mental lexicon The mini-activities / games should be
incorporated into meaningful tasks
![Page 32: 1 Vocabulary projects conducted by EMB ProjectsParticipantsExpected Outcomes Vocabulary Study Focus Groupwordlists for KS1, KS2, KS3 & KS4 Seed Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cd75503460f9499fcc5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Incorporating mini-activities / games into meaningful tasks Exemplar 4 – “Buying Things” (Primary 1-3) Use noun / noun phrases to
- identify items to buy in a shopping centre, e.g. rain boots,
waterproof watch
- identify shops in a shopping centre, e.g. toy shop, clothes shop Read a story about a boy called Charlie, who went shopping with
his family, and learn or revise the names of the shopping items in context…
Task: design a poster for an imaginary shopping centre, with information on the types of shops, the products available and the prices

Can you suggest some more items for the analogies?

35
Word Slap
Players take turns, clockwise, to shout out
a different word from a pre-selected lexical set (e.g. things in a bookshop) on every fourth beat.
Players who either repeat a word already used, or break the rhythm – or say nothing – are ‘out’.
One – two – three – pencil!
