Ellevation Education presents this on-demand webinar on using the 'Vocabulary Rating' strategy to help multilingual learners practise and internalise academic vocabulary. At approximately 30 minutes, this focused session demonstrates how teachers can implement the Vocabulary Rating technique — a structured approach where students self-assess their familiarity with key academic terms before and after instruction, building metacognitive awareness of their own vocabulary development. The strategy is particularly effective for English learners because it activates prior knowledge, makes vocabulary learning visible, and provides teachers with immediate data on which terms need more instructional attention. This webinar is part of Ellevation's broader library of professional learning resources designed to equip all teachers with evidence-based strategies for supporting multilingual learners. As the platform serving over 50% of EL students nationally, Ellevation's webinars translate research into practical, immediately applicable classroom techniques.
