In all stages of education, vocabulary is central to learning content. Yet knowing which words to teach and how to teach them can feel overwhelming and time-consuming for many subject teachers. This session will begin by helping those teachers to identify words that require explicit instruction. It will then explore strategies to develop vocabulary teaching in both depth and breadth. It will conclude with activities focused on developing students as autonomous learners of vocabulary.
Training topics will include:

Hi I have two albums of photos taken at what appears to be a boarding school in 1945/6. I don't know the school - there is only one photo showing any part of the exterior. The photos are excellent - the master who took them was clearly a gifted amateur. I'd like to try to trace the school and ask if they'd like the albums for their archives. I've attempted to scan the one with the exterior. It's firmly glued into the album, so apologies for the poor quality.
