“…In applying explicit vocabulary instruction, a well-balanced program incorporating learning and practicing vocabulary through meaning, the focus is crucial (Mirzaii, 2018) because teaching vocabulary in an EFL context can be challenging due to the lack of second language input (Siyanova-Chanturia & Webb, 2016). In addition, vocabulary instruction is crucial because it is the critical element of reading comprehension and is often addressed insufficiently (Gallagher & Anderson, 2016). Thus, teaching vocabulary needs preparation and planning.…”

This research aimed to discover the impact of explicit instruction on teaching vocabulary to students with vocabulary difficulties. This explicit instruction involves directly teaching vocabulary words, providing detailed definitions, and practicing using these words in the context of sentences. The participants were 95 fourth-grade students. Participants who scored under 40 on the vocabulary test were randomly assigned to the experimental or control classes. The experimental group receives explicit instruction, while the control group receives conventional teaching from a teacher in a whole group setting. The experiment was conducted twice a week during 20 learning sessions. A teacher taught The reference group the same vocabulary as the whole group. Based on the data analysis using a mixed-model (multi-level) Time Condition analysis, the results remarked the moderate effect of the intervention on students' vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension. Besides, the experiment group could write better sentences using the vocabulary taught than the control group. Research implication was also discussed

“…If a text contains an unfamiliar term, readers may try to define it in a note. Teachers sometimes teach this kind of note‐taking as a word‐learning strategy (Gallagher & Anderson, 2016). If a sentence or passage is hard to understand, readers try to paraphrase it.…”

This article underscores the intimate connection between reading and writing as communication skills that share a common linguistic and orthographic foundation, and which combine in complex ways to support practical literacy tasks. Developing higher order literacy skills requires teachers to develop metacognitive skills and self‐regulation, both of which are fostered by writing‐for‐reading and reading‐for‐writing tasks. Writing for reading includes prereading tasks, such as analyzing form, topic, audience, and purpose; writing during reading includes tasks such as notetaking; and writing after reading includes tasks such as writing summaries. Reading for writing includes prewriting tasks, such as analysis of task requirements; reading during writing includes tasks such as correcting errors, monitoring for content quality, and searching source texts for needed information; and reading after writing includes tasks such as self‐evaluation and peer review. To illustrate these concepts in a pedagogical context, this article provides practical strategies for integrating reading and writing tasks in the classroom.

“…Furthermore, vocabulary instructions become effective when learners are provided with different strategies that allow them to create a mental picture that represents the meaning of the words and connect prior knowledge with new knowledge. Therefore, teachers should utilize several explicit vocabulary instruction strategies inside the classroom such as contextual analysis, concept wheels, semantic word maps, webbing, semantic feature analysis, word relationship, and structural features of a word (Rupley et al, 2012), Frayer model map (Sullivan, 2014), concept definition map (Jones, 2018) graffiti wall and picture-word wall (Gallagher & Anderson, 2016).…”

Reading comprehension is an essential interdisciplinary skill that serves as a foundation of all other subject areas. In science, as a subject rich in vocabulary words, the learner's ability to read and comprehend to generate a conceptual understanding cannot be set aside. Thus, integrating literacy strategies such as vocabulary instruction strategies in teaching the subject is of great help to the learners. This quasi-experimental research determined the effect of integrating explicit vocabulary instruction strategy in the conceptual understanding of students in science. Forty-four students served as participants in this research. Inquiry-based approach, particularly the Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate Learning Cycle (5 E’s) was utilized in teaching the control group. While in the experimental group, the same strategy was employed, but with the integration of vocabulary instruction strategies. T-test was used in determining the significant difference in the performances of the two groups. The findings reveal that the students who were taught with the integration of explicit vocabulary instruction strategy performed better than the students who did not undergo vocabulary instruction. This suggests that the integration of the explicit vocabulary instruction strategy in teaching science enhances the conceptual understanding of the students in the subject. Thus, it is recommended that science teachers who are trained as content specialists should consider integrating explicit vocabulary instruction strategies in teaching to address the literacy needs of the students.
