School systems in the United States are contending with diverse student populations that may require new approaches to teaching. A large proportion of this diversity stems from language differences, and schools are increasingly encountering a number of students who do not speak English as their first language (English language learners, or ELLs). These students are often behind their English-speaking peers in size of vocabulary. More importantly, these students often struggle to develop academic vocabulary, or an understanding of the words used to communicate academic content. Vocabulary has been found to be implicated in reading fluency and comprehension, and thus is strongly related to school achievement. Because cognitive psychology has provided insight into the benefits of retrieval practice and deep processing through elaboration for strengthening learning and memory, researchers have hypothesized that these principles can be applied in educational settings to enhance learning in school-age children. The current study investigates whether incorporating such cognitive principles into supplemental instruction is an effective means of increasing the academic vocabulary and reading proficiency of ELLs. An incremental rehearsal intervention method was examined using single-case methodology. Results revealed promising positive effects of the intervention on academic vocabulary knowledge, but provided less support for the extension of these effects to improvement of reading fluency and comprehension.
