Marzano’s Theory and Vocabulary Models

Part 1: Marzano’s Theory

In 100-250 words, explain the background and purpose of Marzano’s six-step process for teaching vocabulary.

Language skills determine academic success. Vocabulary aids reading comprehension by linking prior knowledge to new information. Children need clear and thorough vocabulary education to improve their writing and speaking. Vocabulary instruction helps students comprehend increasingly complex texts and access academic language and discourse.

Marzano suggests openly teaching subject-specific academic language to children without prior knowledge to close the achievement gap. If they know grade-level vocabulary, pupils can easily learn new concepts. This six-step method would help educators bridge the gap between teaching and learning and make activities more real and relevant to students. Language conveys learning, so students must learn the value of vocabulary to succeed. Most pupils failed due to misunderstanding. It’s easy, but they can’t understand the unfamiliar terms. Lack of language has hindered their learning. Vocabulary helps pupils succeed academically and learn endlessly. Thus, improving communication skills and expertise requires learning vocabulary.

Part 2: Vocabulary Models

Research five vocabulary models that align to Marzano’s process and can be used in science and health instruction. The Frayer model has been provided as an example to follow in the template.

Vocabulary Model and Description

Marzano’s Six-Step Process

Which Marzano step/s relate to each model? (At least one step should relate to each model.)

Explanation

Explain how the model aligns to Marzano’s Step/s.

Strategy

Example of how it can be used to teach content related vocabulary in the inclusive classroom. Be sure to use a specific science term. Include any diagrams or pictures as appropriate.

Example:

Frayer Diagram

Description:

The Frayer diagram is a graphic organizer where students outline characteristics and non-characteristics of a vocabulary term.

Steps 2, 3, and 4.

The Frayer model aligns with Marzano’s Step 2 because it provides students the opportunity to give a description of the vocabulary word in various ways. It also aligns with Steps 3 and 4, because students can provide a non-linguistic description of the word by drawing a picture and students can engage with the vocabulary word by finding antonyms and synonyms
