Abstract | Vocabulary used in the Language Improvement to Facilitate Education (LIFE) program is compared with the vocabulary used in A Functional Basic Word Listing for Special Pupils (FBWLSP). The vocabulary of the LIFE program is said to have been chosen on the basis of several language curriculum guides from schools for the deaf, the E. Thorndike and I. Lorge word list, the Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary, and many consultants. The FBWLSP is said to consist of 2,483 words divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels of difficulty. The combined total match of the Project LIFE vocabulary words with the special listing of vocabulary for special students on the three levels of LIFE materials was reported to be 90%. Words included in the Project LIFE materials which do not appear in the basic word list are thought to be those referring to important components of the child's everyday activities at home and at school. The differences between the two lists are said to reflect the fact that the LIFE materials are designed to teach functional language, while the basic word list is more directed toward the child's reading of already developed materials. Appendixes include listings of references for language planning, language grids from Project LIFE, and an alphabetical listing of Project LIFE vocabulary. (GW) |
