    Levels or Stages of Word Knowledge
    (Wiley, 2018) Bush, Jerome
    Vocabulary knowledge can be seen as existing on a continuum from unknown to mastery.How well a student knows a word has been referred to as “depth” of vocabularyknowledge, as opposed to “breadth” of knowledge, which is the number of wordsknown. Several scales have been developed that describe the levels or stages of vocabularyknowledge. Teachers have a limited time in which to teach vocabulary. Therefore,they should adopt a strategic perspective and train students to develop vocabularyacquisition systems. Teachers would do well to foster fascination with words and sparkcuriosity within their students. Then they will be able to develop independent learnerswho will be successful in acquiring vocabulary knowledge.

    Using Screencasting To Give Feedback for Academic Writing
    (Routledge, 2020) Bush, Jerome
    This article reports on student reactions to a relatively new method of giving feedback using a technique called ‘screencasting’. Screencasting is a technique where the computer screen is captured in a video while an audio recording is being made. In this way, students can receive oral feedback in conjunction with written corrective feedback. Forty-four freshman students from an advanced writing class in the ELT department of a small private university in Istanbul participated in the study. During the semester, three high stakes essay assignments were given. For the first essay only written corrective feedback was given, but for the subsequent two essays students received a combination of written and oral feedback through screencasting. Screencasting was originally used because it was purported to be more efficient than written corrective feedback. While it wasn’t found to be more efficient for the teacher, it was enthusiastically embraced by the students. To gauge the students’ perceptions, a survey was given at the same time as the final exam. The survey included a section for demographics, four open-ended questions, and 28 Likert scale-type questions. The Likert-type questions represented nine categories of inquiry including both practical and affective factors. The results indicated overwhelmingly that the students perceive screencast feedback as more pleasant and more effective than written corrective feedback alone. The technique is appropriate to the twenty-first century classroom and the learning styles of modern students. It is recommended that this technique be adopted in academic writing classes.

    Writing as a Vocabulary Learning Tool
    (Brill, 2014) Bush, Jerome; Dikilitas, Kenan
    This study examined the impact of writing on the vocabulary acquisition of 32 universitypreparatory students in Izmir, Turkey. The students were in two separate classes of 16 each. Bothclasses learned vocabulary receptively by using direct explanations, readings that incorporatedthe target words, and post-reading exercises. In addition to this receptive work, one classproduced sentences and short compositions incorporating the target words. The students wereevaluated by using a modified version of Paribakht and Weshe’s (1997) Vocabulary KnowledgeScale and t-tests were performed. It was found that writing had a significant effect on thedevelopment of productive vocabulary.
