Dr. Anita Archer - Vocabulary Instruction

[@nicolemaursky138]

Anita Archer is a legend. I've integrated much of what I've learned from her and receive high marks on my vocabulary instruction. I was lucky enough to attend a training by her in 2019, and still use some of the tools she shared.

[@Dylvente]

A lot to admire here--I especially like the way the teacher makes it around to every pair to listen and affirm their examples. She doesn't spend too much time with any one pair but takes enough time to interact with them all.

I learned this from a colleague and it's such a great way to teach vocabulary explicitly, especially now that I teach special education

[@zaitpollozhani1944]

I love this! It is so much easier for the students to work and understand a word!

[@onkongchon7110]

Dr. Anita Archer, Wonderful teaching.

[@yvonnecadiz3444]

This strategy is excellent. It is meaningful, and comprehensible with lots of practice!

[@jewelthompson4210]

What an excellent teacher! Soo good!

[@ohhmymegan]

Excellent!! I look forward to implementing this.

[@AnnaZehr]

This is so good. I'm looking for more explicit vocabulary teaching videos like this. Does anybody have another video of Anita Archer teaching or other teachers offering this level of quality in instruction?

Oh this is goood!! Definitely understandable for students

[@sarahjohnson9147]

This video was shared as an excellent example of explicit instruction in a professional development workshop in my school district. I began implementing some of the things she did the very next week. Of course, some things need to be altered depending on the age group of your students. I thought it was excellent modeling for teachers on how to teach vocabulary explicitly.

[@kimtanis5475]

Excellent modeling of vocabulary teaching!

[@kausarzakri9915]

an excellent method of teaching vocabulary.

[@CP-nf9my]

Anita Archer rocks.

[@katzelee]

great demonstration of explicit vocabulary instruction

[@shauntayfrazier-hall4682]

excellent way to build vocabulary

[@beverlysimple411]

Such a great video

[@abdulahish2549]

good teacher your lesson is very helpful

[@akatude2002]

Awesome!

[@zmollon]

Where can we find resources like this to help us teach in this manner?

[@aviewer390]

If you HAVE to teach vocabulary in a stand alone program, and, sadly, I do, this is the way to do it.

[@xchristinaxkopf8]

In which grade was this lesson taught?

[@EvangelistKia]

😊 excellent

[@merariferrer8452]

Are these vocabulary words being taught in isolation or within context of text?

[@mbanson23]

That’s the question I have. I think it’s important to “weave” it into the context of a text. Unless, that comes second

[@frankvazquez5974]

Well I use Anita's "Rewards" program, and they have a vocabulary strand in there that is taught similar to this manner. Words -sentences-passages are all pretty out of context for the decoding level of the program, though there is also a content passages program for Rewards that does have textually embedded material.

[@roncangarden8952]

The teacher is seen pulling out so many contexts by way of examples! Text books may prescribe teaching vocabulary in context but this method seems far more engaging, interactive and effective in its repetition and cognition loading.

[@didirikk]

Exactly. Imagine doing this on a daily basis. If I was her student, I would not want to go to class. I would also say her teaching is not really comprehensive because she is not teaching them the difference between the informal phrasal verb "throw away" and the one word more formal alternative "discard". I feel sorry for the students.

[@PrathibhaKandiraju]

Good explanation

[@793matt]

Love

[@williemera.punzalan4038]

nice strategy for teaching

[@Gloriyaspacs]

Superb

[@862bhut]

Very good

[@farjadbabaee547]

With all due respect, her TTT is off the chart. The point has already been isolated and clarified you can just leave it to them with additional monitoring and error correction.

[@sniperreplays1795]

She came to my school

[@nyelkenci]

very tiring, I wouldn't do like this in my efl classes though

[@petejt]

So patronising. Too much "teacher talk".

[@plerpplerp5599]

This lesson is absurd. People should curtail teaching in this way. 🤦‍♂️
