The Custom Vocab module allows you to create a controlled vocabulary and add it to a specific property in a resource template. When using that template for an item, the property will load with a dropdown limited to the options of the controlled vocabulary, rather than a text entry box.
For example, you may want to create an institution-specific list of locations that correspond to different collections on your campus, or a controlled list of people or places related to your holdings. This can help reduce typos and name variations, and can allow you to offer metadata browsing for more fields.
Note that manually entered terms or URIs do not need to be unique when entered; the module will only retain unique entries when saved. If you are entering identical URIs with different labels, only the final entry will be retained and earlier labels will be ignored.
Once you have created at least one vocabulary, the Custom Vocab tab will display a table of your existing vocabularies. The table displays the Label, the buttons for edit, delete, and display information (ellipsis), and the Owner or creator of the vocabulary.
There is also a button to "Import" a vocabulary using a file, in the top right. Note that importing will add a new listing to the table. If you are attmepting to update an existing vocabulary in your installation, do not use the "Import from file" button. Update the vocabulary from its entry in the table.
Clicking the ellipsis will show you the language of a vocabulary as well as a full listing of its terms. There are two buttons that allow you to "Export" a vocabulary, which can then be shared with other Omeka installations, or to "Update" the existing vocabulary from a file. Note that Items-type vocabularies cannot be exported or imported, as these vocabularies work as Omeka resources and could not replicated on another site.
Using a specialized graphic organizer to explore vocabulary words more deeply after reading helps students develop their understanding of important words and concepts used in school texts. In this module, participants learn about effective vocabulary instruction, the kinds of vocabulary words to select from a text, the main components of the research-based Frayer Model, and the steps to implementing vocabulary instruction using the Frayer Model.
Hi. My name is Nancy Guilloteau. I am a lecturer in the Dept. of French and Italian. I have been teaching here since 1998, and have been the Language Program Director since 2006. During my tenure at UT, I have taught classes at all levels. At the undergraduate level, I have taught beginning language courses, advanced conversation, French phonetics, advanced grammar and composition, French business culture, and a French and American cultural values course. At the graduate level, I teach a course titled Supervised Teaching in French. This is a required pedagogy and teacher training course for our graduate students who wish to teach in our program.
As Language Program Director, my job includes training and supervising our graduate students who are funded as TAs and AIs. We have a very structured approach to training in our dept. Our TAs spend two years observing beginning classes, and are gradually phased into grading and teaching small segments of classes under supervision. After two years of training, as well as 30 graduate hours and the graduate course, Supervised Teaching in French, our students are qualified to teach their own first-semester class. Most of these grad students come into my Supervised Teaching in French class with a clear picture of how they think grammar should be taught, often based on how they were taught, but few (if any) have any idea how to teach vocabulary. They might have ideas about how students should learn vocabulary (flash cards, labeled pictures, etc.), but they do not realize that they need to teach it, in part because they were never taught vocabulary as second language learners. Langauge teachers often assume that their primary role is to teach grammar, and that vocabulary will somehow take care of itself; this is simply not the case.
In this module, I will begin by addressing the importance of actively teaching vocabulary in the second language classroom. I will then take you through the development of Franais interactif, and the rationale behind it. We will then explore the vocabulary learning strategies used throughout Franais interactif,. We will also review two progressions of vocabulary activities in this first-year program: input to output, and decontexualized lists to more richly contextualized speech samples. Finally, in the "Portfolio" section, we will see what types of vocabulary exercises the graduate students created for the assignment given to them in class.
Another of my duties, and perhaps the most rewarding, has been the ongoing development of our first-year curriculum, Franais interactif,. This first-year program is open access (no fees or passwords). You will see parts of this curriculum throughout the vocabulary module.
Nancy Guilloteau is the Language Program Director in the Department of French and Italian at the University of Texas at Austin. She specializes in curriculum development and graduate instructor training and supervision.
Was scratching my head for a bit today before finding out what I had done wrong... Maybe this will help someone, and maybe a different error message "Hey dimwit, tokens must be ascii!" would have made me look in the right direction somewhat faster.
Knowing that Plone coerces tokens to always be ascii when writing them, shouldn't there have been some kind of sanity check in zope.schema.vocabulary to prevent me from passing on something else than an ascii string?
The p.a.vocab urlsafe thing you refer to is only applicable to the token as that's what is passed around in forms, json and the like, not the value of the vocab item. There's is no type mismatch for the value, it's just Any.
Each module is ideal for PK-12 teachers, subject teachers, paraprofessionals or university education students or professors interested in professional development in small units, as well as parents interested in the acquisition of reading and the evidence-based literacy methods that support reading development.

The two previous updates concerned the Kana and Kanji modules. Now, you'll also be able to optimize your vocabulary sessions thanks to the integrated SRS technology (Spaced Repetition System). Please check the HELP sections in the app if you don't know what SRS is. Basically, it will track your performances to quiz you on new items and items that you need to review just at the right time.
IMPORTANT: someone contacted me thinking that each module in JA Sensei needed to be purchased separately. Of course it's wrong, and I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. The JA Sensei's Premium offer is a single price with no subscriptions and gives access to all current modules with no time limit.
We've also reached 3,000 Facebook fans, THANK YOU! With the French page, the total is now 6,300 fans. Of course there are still many tasks to do and projects to finish to make JA Sensei and Japan Activator even better assisting tools to reach your goals, but your support is an inexhaustible source of motivation for me.
Each module is the first step in understanding the Science of Reading, Phonological Awareness, Decoding & Spelling, Vocabulary, Language Comprehension & Written Expression, and Demystifying Dyslexia. Each course is taken entirely online and takes approximately 5-9 hours to complete. Access to course content is available for 1 year. Certificates of contact hours are available upon completion.
Develop the specialized knowledge required to accelerate language and literacy proficiency for English Learners in any program model with immediate instructional applications with AIM's newest course created in collaboration with literacy researcher Dr. Elsa Crdenas-Hagan.
