Introduction
Motivations for the study
 Students’ complaints about the mastery of academic
vocabulary within a short period of time
 Students’ requests for more vocabulary practice
 Meeting curricular demands and the needs of the
advanced level students
Research on recycling vocabulary in
the advanced reading class
 Mastery of EAP reading requires comprehension
abilities, a large recognition vocabulary above 10.000
words and a good command of grammar patterns
(Shiotsu, 2010 cited in Grabe & Stoller, 2013).
 There is no vocabulary growth without reading and
vice versa (Grabe & Stoller, 2011).
 Instructed vocabulary in reading: incidental learning
through reading or intentional word-focused
activities.
 Multiple exposure to words from 5 to 10 times is of
paramount importance to vocabulary growth.
 Recycling vocabulary activities build receptive knowledge
of vocabulary (gap-filling, multiple-
choice, sorting/ranking/sequencing) & help students
recognize, recall the meaning/form of the words.
 Recycling activities that expand students’ productive
knowledge by encouraging fluent word usage in speaking
and writing activities (oral/written
summaries, dialogues, discussions)
 A balanced approach of moving from receptive to
productive mastery of vocabulary in a meaningful reading
context that encourages both incidental and intentional
learning of vocabulary.
Research Question
1. Consider the following vocabulary tasks/activities. Which do you like more?
2. Give reasons for your decision.
3. Checking vocabulary exercises of the textbook
4. Oral retell of a text by using key vocabulary words of the text
5. Using key vocabulary words in tables, KWL charts or Venn Diagrams
6. Using key vocabulary words in the written summary of a text
7. Matching chapter key vocabulary with their synonyms/definitions
8. Paraphrasing words and sentences
9. Vocabulary associations (Ethnocentrism is related with…)
10. Choosing the correct part of speech
11. Rereading the text for another purpose
12. Reading and listening to the text at the same time.
13. Revise chapter key vocabulary through a chapter test
14. Use key vocabulary words in class discussions
15. Use key vocabulary words in chapter reflection written activities
Example:Vocabulary Associations
 Do you usually wear handmade clothes? ……………………………………………………………….
 What do you usually download or upload? ……………………………………………………………….
 What do you consider a best-case scenario? ……………………………………………………………….
 Mention 2 leapfrogger countries ……………………………………………………………….
 Give 2 examples of a service-based or knowledge-based economy ………………………………………….
 Give 2 examples of 2 emerging economies ……………………………………………………………….
 Mention 2 countries with limited access to internet/education/literacy …………………………………
 Give 2 examples of grassroots campaigns ……………………………………………………………….
 Do you know anybody who is a well-educated, tech-savvy and speaks English?
..................................
 What is the Craddle to Craddle philosophy? ...................................................................
Example: Correct part of speech
Read the following sentences from the text “Hooked on Crime” and circle
one of the underlined words that best fits the sentence structure.
 There is some irony in the fact that the group steals heavily from the 12
step, spiritually-based Alcoholic/Alcohol/Alcoholics Anonymous
program.
 The program’s strength is that it was created by members and not
imposing/impose/imposed/imposingly on them.
 He has spent more than half his years in jail, for
robber/robbery/robberies/robbing, extort/extortion/extorting, attempt
ed
murder, assault/assaulting/assaults, traffic/trafficker/trafficking, and
small time cons.
 Crime Addiction Anonymous is dedicated to the
content/contentious/contentiously/ contention premise that crime can
be an illness as strong as
dependent/dependently/dependence/independence/interdependence
on alcohol or drugs.
Example: Paraphrasing
What Vodafone people consider the key to their
success are their employees. According to Proust, great
people make a company, and their people are
effusive, innovative, and amicable. They are not people
who are just working absentmindedly and are flattered
by just one piece of invention. They are people who
keep up with research on understanding daily
consumer behavior.
Oral summary with key words
 Example: Text Outward Bound/Key Words
 Grew up in knee-deep rice paddies/tiny village

Electronics
 Tireless, vigorous, innovative,
 Chant, croon, rally people, feel comfortable
Leader/commander/infuser
