Quick Resource
For those of you that have native Spanish-speaking ESL students in your classroom, here is a book recommendation that will really help a lot: NTC's Dictionary of Spanish Cognates Thematically Organized (Nash 1990). You can find it here. Freeman and Freeman (2004) state, "One way that etchers can help student develop both content-specific and general academic vocabulary is through the student of cognates" (p. 210). Studying cognates, particularly thematically, is really helpful in developing your student's academic vocabulary. I hope you'll check it out!
