Best Practices of Vocabulary Acquisition in the Elementary Setting

Chapter 5: Implications, Recommendations, and Conclusions
The problem addressed in this e-Delphi study was the lack of knowledge of instructional strategies by educators that will improve vocabulary learning for the second language learners in the educational setting. The importance of diversifying learning practices and situations that help second language learners regulate their learning with a broader understanding which would improve the learning outcomes have been underrated by educators (Felix, 2018; Tahiri, et al., 2017). When educators are given a beginning point that would offer the most strategic practices that improves second language learners’ acquisitions of the English language, the success in the classroom would be phenomenal. School districts have been working to bridge the gap in learning to help the second language learners be more successful, educators need to be utilizing proven strategies to help and not antiquated teaching techniques in the academic classroom (Ahour & Abdi, 2015; Felix, 2018)
The key purpose of this non-experimental, qualitative method, e-Delphi study was to extract professional consensus (Bale, et al., 2020; Dreesens, et al., 2020) for the extremely successful means and strategies that would empower all students within the general classroom, a reasonable and justifiable access to the educational curriculum (Felix, 2018). This study incorporated the use of methodology which solicited samplings from educators who have worked with second language learners in the public-school setting. In the case of an e-Delphi study, the qualifications pertain to experts, individuals who are considered knowledgeable about the subject being investigated (Akar, 2020). The identification of appropriate participants for this study was acquired through permission of the district’s superintendents.
