The use of cognates allows English language learners to use
their home language as a resource for learning new academic
words in English. It is particularly helpful for students who
speak Latin-based languages, including French. Cognates are
words that have a similar spelling, pronunciation, and
meaning across two languages. When students recognize
words as cognates, they can access unfamiliar English words
and better understand what they read.

The use of cognates allows English language learners to use

their home language as a resource for learning new academic

words in English. It is particularly helpful for students who

speak Latin-based languages, including French. Cognates are

words that have a similar spelling, pronunciation, and

meaning across two languages. When students recognize

words as cognates, they can access unfamiliar English words

and better understand what they read.
