October 2008 Vocabulary for Content-Area Learning
"We all want our students to demonstrate newly learned concepts with the words they know as they discuss, write, and visually represent specific topics. These expressive language modes require a well-rounded vocabulary base that includes the specialized terminology of particular content areas—terminology that is intricately embedded in conceptual learning. In fact, teaching vocabulary in the content areas of mathematics, science, history, and English is not a separate entity from teaching the core understandings of each domain." ―Janis M. Harmon and Karen D. Wood
