Purpose of action research project

The purpose of my action research project is to implement explicit vocabulary instruction and to determine which methods will provide the most effective instruction for ELL students.  At my Elementary campus, our students are constantly struggling with vocabulary and it is a skill that we perform low in every year when it comes to standardized testing.  We do not have a vocabulary curriculum and from my experience, I have trouble deciding how to teach vocabulary and which methods to use.  There's no structure or strategy behind it.  My ELL students and teachers that teach ELL students will benefit from this action research because at the end of the project I will know which methods and strategies are most effective and will be able to implement them in my everyday teaching and share my findings with the rest of my staff.  This will increase the student's vocabulary bank, which will improve their fluency, which will intern increase their overall reading comprehension.
