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