{"pk":36041,"title":"Processing Academic Language Through Four Corners Vocabulary Chart Applications","subtitle":null,"abstract":"4 Corners Vocabulary Charts (FCVCs) are explored as a multipurpose vehicle for processing academic language in a 5th-grade\nclassroom. FCVCs typically display a vocabulary word, an illustration of the word, synonyms associated with the word, a sentence using a given vocabulary word, and a definition of the term\nin students’ words. The use of personal dictionary entries in the\nform of FCVCs created on 3-by-5–inch index cards allowed for\nthe implementation of 4 key classroom activities—namely, a “fill\nin the square” review activity and 3 games: Heads Up, a modified\nversion of Connect 4, and Bingo. FCVCs are identified as optimal\ntools for the instruction of English learners because of the high\nlevel of vocabulary processing required for their creation and\ntheir functionality as key elements of engaging vocabulary games.","language":"eng","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"CATESOL Exchange","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0762q8tc","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Sarah","middle_name":"","last_name":"Smith","name_suffix":"","institution":"Texas Woman’s University","department":""},{"first_name":"Claudia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sanchez","name_suffix":"","institution":"Texas Woman’s University","department":""},{"first_name":"Sharon","middle_name":"","last_name":"Betty","name_suffix":"","institution":"Denton Independent School District","department":""},{"first_name":"Shiloh","middle_name":"","last_name":"Davis","name_suffix":"","institution":"Texas Woman’s University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/catesoljournal/article/36041/galley/26893/download/"}]}
