Keywords Geography

The Language of Geography

Veröffentlicht von: Click4ESOL

Beschreibung

Keywords Geography explains the language of Geography found in course books, seen online and used by teachers in the classroom. It is influenced by leading research from the Trinity Immigration Initiative (2007), Oxford University and the Education Endowment Foundation (2017), which indicate that many young students underachieve in Science subjects due to the academic complexity of the language of Science. Covering the core topics of Earth Layers, Plate Movement, Volcanoes, Climate Types, Local Climates, Atmosphere, Greenhouse Effect, Rocks, Weathering, Mass Earth Movement, Erosion, and Rivers, Keywords Geography approaches these topics from a language perspective to simplify the learning process.

Keywords Geography is more than a vocabulary list. It is a comprehensive interactive Geography language app, whose every touchpoint is linked to research. Firstly, all learning content derives from a 3-year research study carried out by linguists at Trinity College Dublin. This research identified the exact language all young people need to know to engage confidently with Geography. Each of the 12 topics aligns with the school curriculum and each one is presented in approximately 120 words. Within these 120 words, 12 keywords central to understanding the topic are embedded in the text. This design is in line with the principles of language acquisition.

From here, students are prompted to engage with meaning, form and pronunciation, which support comprehension. A focus on Spelling encourages literacy development. A Word Order activity encourages students to practise sentence level syntax, while Multi-choice exercises provide space to consolidate learning. The final Reading activity encourages students to deploy backward and forward reading strategies to decode language. At the end of the topic, students are asked to share their learning with their friends and teacher, marking the first phase of collaborative learning.

Audio support is provided throughout, ensuring that a variety of learning styles and abilities are facilitated. 144 high-quality images are embedded within the vocabulary section to offer valid non-linguistic clues, central to language acquisition. Indeed, the images also enhance visual literacy skills, a core skill of the digital age. The presentation of learning activities adheres to the principles of mobile education.

Collectively, the features included in Keywords Geography ensure a positive learning experience. Preliminary testing of the Keywords Geography app in a range of learning contexts resulted in extremely encouraging outcomes. These outcomes relate to both academic achievements and increased confidence levels.
