Abstract

This chapter explores the need for valid and reliable vocabulary instruction at the secondary level. As climate and demographics continue to change the education landscape, there will be a continued need for further research on best practices for vocabulary. Currently, students' vocabulary knowledge at the secondary level is lacking, specifically in the content areas, and teachers need instructional strategies that they can put into practice. The research currently available indicated this is an important subject and support for instruction is needed. Therefore, this chapter proves there is such a need.
