Description

The Multiple Meanings Library was created by a certified speech and language pathologist for students ages 5–15 who struggle with oral and written comprehension of words with multiple meanings.

The Multiple Meanings Library can be used for students with:

- Receptive/expressive language disorders
- Word-finding problems
- Learning disorders
- Autism
- Specific language -learning disorders, etc.

The Multiple Meanings Library allows students to practice multiple meanings in the following five different types of activities:

- Auditory bombardment
- Definitions
- Picture identification
- Fill-in
- Make up sentences (with audio recording feature)

The Multiple Meanings Library is easy to navigate and allows users to employ several tools, enabling them to perform the following tasks:

- Enter multiple students
- Change settings
- Select multiple words
- Select multiple activity types
- Select auto-scoring
- Select alternate counts for multiple students
- Enable or disable written instruction
- Enable or disable feedback sounds
- Use audio recording feature when playing “Make up sentences”
- Track correct and incorrect responses
- E-mail results at the end of the game

Background

Having knowledge of multiple meanings is critical for both oral and written communication and a successful education. Children are exposed to words that have multiple meanings on a daily basis at school and social settings. Students are expected to access their lexical dictionaries quickly enough to accurately respond to a teacher’s directions or questions; however, sometimes the teacher’s directions or explanations may contain words that have more than one meaning, making it very difficult for children with limited vocabulary knowledge to understand.

Students who are learning to read can also experience reading comprehension difficulties when reading a new word or a word that has multiple meanings (Adams, M., 1990).

Understanding words with multiple meaning is also importing in social settings, as children need to employ figurative and humorous usage of multiple meanings. Children who struggle with multiple meanings, for example, may not understand the inferences or jokes that are presented by their peers, and because of this, they may feel isolated.

Most researchers of vocabulary agree that the best method for vocabulary teaching should employ both direct and indirect teaching that includes both receptive and expressive tasks (Vacca, Vacca, & Gove, 2000; Marzano & Marzano, 1988).

Children learn multiple meanings by constructing a visual image that connects the target word with a familiar word through exposure to words in multiple contexts by listening to varied information about each word. (Beck 2002)

The Multiple Meanings Library employs the above research by providing students with repetition and multiple exposures to words in different context.
