I gave a talk to a group of students and scholars at the IZ Education Center (Iran) via Skype on May 15, 2020.

I’ve edited the video to include only my presentation, since I don’t have permission to include video/audio feeds during the Q&A session.

The video quality of the recording via Skype isn’t brilliant, but the audio is mostly fine.

I talk about how we do – and do not – improve our vocabulary, focusing on academic vocabulary instruction and its efficiency versus free reading.

Warning: there will be gesticulation.
