Abstract

Vocabulary plays a critical role in later reading achievement of emergent bilingual children (EBC) who are learning two languages. Given emerging vocabulary intervention research for EBC, we synthesize studies on vocabulary interventions designed for preschool and kindergarten EBC to provide the cumulative knowledge on the following dimensions: (a) EBC’s characteristics, (b) features of selected target words and books, (c) critical components of vocabulary interventions, and (d) the overall effectiveness of the interventions as reflected by the percentage of studies reporting a significant increase on proximal measures of EBC’s target words. Through a systematic search, we identified 19 articles using experimental or quasi-experimental designs. Overall, EBC increased their knowledge of words taught through vocabulary instruction, and the use of bilingual or family heritage instructional language increased EBC’s vocabulary knowledge in both languages.

新兴双语儿童的词汇干预：实验和准实验研究的系统综述

词汇在新兴双语儿童学习两种语言的后期阅读成就中起着至关重要的作用。鉴于新兴的英语教学词汇干预研究，我们综合学前和幼儿园英语教学词汇干预研究，在以下几个维度上积累知识:(a) EBC的特征，(b)选定的目标单词和书籍的特征，(c)词汇干预的关键组成部分，以及(d)干预的总体有效性，这反映在报告EBC目标单词的近邻测量显着增加的研究百分比上。通过系统检索，我们确定了19篇采用实验或准实验设计的文章。总体而言，幼儿通过词汇教学增加了他们对词汇教学的知识，使用双语或家族传承教学语言增加了幼儿在两种语言中的词汇知识。

期刊介绍： Topics in Early Childhood Special Education (TECSE) communicates information about early intervention, which is defined broadly and includes services provided to (a) infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who are at risk for or display developmental delays and disabilities and (b) the families of such youngsters. TECSE includes articles on personnel preparation, policy issues, and operation of intervention programs. The intent is to publish information that will improve the lives of young children and their families. Manuscripts from (a) diverse theoretical perspectives, (b) all disciplines related to early intervention, and (c) all authors with information of value to the early intervention community are welcome. There are two topical issues—which address an identified problem, trend, or subject of concern and importance to early intervention—and two non-topical issues.
