  overall_research_project_description: |
    The proposed project aims to improve elementary school age children's academic language skills and reading comprehension through development of explicit instruction in word knowledge using an e-learning platform for delivery in rural, remote, and urban settings.
    • Purpose: This project will develop and refine a vocabulary intervention to address significant gaps in language and literacy achievement for multilingual learners with and at risk for disabilities. Academic language knowledge is a source of persistent gaps in achievement for Multilingual Learners (MLs) with or at risk for disabilities. The existing literature supports leveraging morphological knowledge for deducing meanings of novel academic words as a strategy to accelerate word learning for MLs. This project will develop and deploy a multi-component vocabulary intervention that can be implemented reliably and effectively using a digital e-learning platform to improve students’ vocabulary and morphological knowledge to enhance students’ comprehension of academic texts.

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: |
    Project Activities: In the fall semester, we will work as a team to develop 15-20 minute lessons for 3rd - 5th grade students, specifically tailored for children whose first language is Spanish or ASL. In the spring semester there will be opportunities for beta testing the supplemental instruction in school and clinical settings depending on your availability, interest, and transportation to community sites in Tallahassee and the surrounding area.
    Specific tasks will depend on your interests, talents and expertise but may include:
    *Development of materials to be used for vocabulary instruction with school age children
    *Creative innovation of gamified language learning activities and/or Canva skills
    *Creative writing of short story passages intended for children in 3rd - 5th grade
    *Making word map (visuals) and word sum examples to support word learning
    *Identifying cognates in Spanish (applicable for Spanish speaking team members)
    *Collaborating in interdisciplinary teams online to develop engaging materials
    * Administering supplemental technology enhanced instruction to school age children in the community.

  skills_that_research_assistants_may_need_: 'Knowledge of Spanish or ASL is an asset; however knowledge of a second language is not required for participation. An iterative development process will be employed to improve the likelihood of effectiveness on vocabulary outcomes of young children. Knowledge of instructional technology supports such as Cava and Synthesia are advantageous but not necessary to independently learn their use. In the spring semester there will be opportunities for beta testing the supplemental instruction in school and clinical settings depending on your availability, interest, and transportation to community sites in Tallahassee and the surrounding area.'
