It is also concerned with language teacher’s performance in teaching, reading and vocabulary and the attitudes involved when performing the tasks (Wong, 2012).The following are examples of steps in Marzano’s method: provision and availing description, vivid explanation or example of a new vocabulary, requesting students to restate the given description, explanation and description and giving examples in their own words, requesting learners to construct a picture, symbol or graphic depicting the term, regular engagement of learners in activities that assist them in improving their vocabulary and knowledge and ideas on the terms they learn from their classroom activities and notebook, periodical and consistently asking students to discuss the new learnt vocabulary with fellow classmates and finally engaging learners in games that assist them play with terms they learn in class (Robert, 2011). The study is important as it concentrates on how to maximize each and every student learning and discourage ill motives towards learning achievements among students and learners of distinct groups. However, achievement disparities do exist mostly in the vocabulary reading, comprehending and general language learning. In addition improving literacy rates among learners highly involves teaching learners a rich academic and language vocabulary and terms which in turn increases the student’s comprehension skills and application of words (Ruby, 2014).

One of the greatest important services that educators canavail specifically for learners who are from a poorly disadvantaged upbringing is a gradual and systematic instruction in the desired language and academic vocabulary (Robert, 2013). This study and research utilizes Marzano’s strategies and keenly analyses their exact effectiveness on English teacher’s performance in teaching reading and vocabulary development.There are particular learner responses that depict an instructional strategy is being effectively implemented. It is advisable that prior to implementing or trying strategies among students, it is necessary for the teacher to be aware of the types of learners behavior that shows that the strategy is yielding the required effects (Frasser, 2016). The general behavior that an educator might look for includes the learner’s complete personal assessments as allocated and Learners can illustrate the relationship between particular assessment and learning objects. Strategies describe particular actions that educators can take to enact ideas in the learningenvironment. Strategies can either be utilized individually or in combination to another. Each strategy must include a vivid description, list of what the teacher should perform, a combination of learners responses and suggestions for implementing the strategy to extra support. Extra effortdemands teachers to take steps to facilitate implementation of the strategy effectively for all learners. Teachers who are responsible for undertaking a similar task and service to learners may decide to come up with common assessment criteria to seek feedback from students on specific topics (Brandon, 2015)Marzano’s dimensions of thinkingCritical and creative thinking-Critical thinking majorly involves seeking reasons behind various ideas and the precision behind it. It also demands the art of being open-minded whereas creative

It involves coming up with concepts and principles relating to the ideas of discussion and comprehending the formed concepts and principles. After comprehending, we proceed to the problem-solving technique where a solution to the specific challenge is formed and a decision is formed upon a future occurrence of a similar problem. A continuous and consistent research is done to improve the efficiency of solving the problem (Wilson, 2015).Core thinking skills-It includes minor skills such as analyzing, classification, evaluation, comparison, assessment, identification, questions formulation and verifications among others (Marilee, 2014).Connecting thinking to content knowledge- It involves the overall application of the above four dimensions to the original course of study and curricula (Harry, 2014).Theoretical frameworkMarzano’s model is a highly recognized research which has availed a model for teaching effectiveness. It elaborates strategies and avails to teachers and administrators ideas and methodsto assist teachers to become more effective.Bruner’s TheoryDirection comprises of driving the student through a succession of explanations and repetitions of an issue or collection of information that expansion the student's capacity to get a handle on, change, and exchange what he is realizing.

On the off chance that beyond any doubt the typical course of scholarly advancement moves from idle through notable to the emblematic portrayal of the world, it is likely that an ideal grouping will advance a similar way. Ideal successions: can't be indicated freely of the rule regarding which last learning is to be judged. An arrangement of such criteria will incorporate in any event the accompanying: speed of learning; protection from overlooking; transferability of what has been figured out how to new examples; type of portrayal as far as which what has been realized as far as intellectual strain forced; compelling energy of what has been realized regarding its generativeness of new speculations and mixes.The direction is a temporary express that has as its protest made the student of issue solver independent. The mentor must right the student in a manner that in the end makes it workable for the student to assume control over the remedial capacity himself. Generally, the consequence of direction is to make a type of authority that is dependent upon the ceaseless nearness of the educator.Marzano’s model also includes use of games and simulations in motivating student’s interests. It promotes physical activity of students in improving their understanding in class. Regular practice of academic-related vocabulary always helps students in expanding their learning. Use of technology instructions may also assist students to compare information to physical lives and form connections and relations to the previous learning. Coming up with rules,procedures and regulations at the start of an academic year help in creating a conducive classroom environment that encourages learning.

Teachers should equip themselves with techniques and strategies for implementing these attitudes and perceptions to yield a transparent and positive outcome among students and they are part of it (Thomas, 2013).Perceptions and attitude about learning climate highly entail terms and factors external to the learner for example, quality, and quantity of available learning resources and the physical environment of learning rooms. Learning climates either form positive mental learning attitude or unconducive mental learning perception. Student’s comfortability and order also performs a major role in building students classroom confidence and composure (Katie, 2014).Teachers always use specific classroom techniques to achieve classroom task beliefs. Learners must ensure that tasks that they are required to perform have value, they have a clearunderstanding of the tasks they are required to perform and finally, they are in a position to access the necessary resources to achieve the success of the same tasks (Addison, 2014).Acquiring and integrating knowledge in English acquisition
