words 
to 
Spanish 
because 
they 
share 
Latin 
derivatives. 
In 
teaching 
aqueduct
, 
for 
example, 
students 
may 
already 
have 
the 
concept 
of 
“water” 
from 
the 
Spanish 
word 
agua
. 
Encourage 
students 
to 
draw 
such 
connections 
between 
their 
first 
and 
second 
languages. 
Summary
We 
have 
presented 
a 
research-based 
rationale 
for 
addressing 
vocabulary 
in 
your 
classroom, 
five 
guiding 
principles 
that 
you 
can 
use 
to 
develop 
an 
instructional 
curriculum, 
and 
a 
few 
ideas 
about 
adaptations 
that 
may 
support 
English 
language 
learners. 
We 
wish 
you 
success 
in 
your 
word 
journeys. 
In 
the 
end, 
we 
hope 
you 
and 
your 
students 
will 
agree 
with 
British 
novelist 
Evelyn 
Waugh: 
“One 
forgets 
words 
as 
one 
forgets 
names. 
One’s 
vocabulary 
needs 
constant 
fertilizing 
or 
it 
will 
die.”
