The VINE Consortium is a collective of researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the University of California, Merced, who are interested in innovative vocabulary research. The three links below provide an overview of the Consortium’s recent research activities involving vocabulary assessment (VASE), the development of word consciousness (VINE), and the integration of technology with vocabulary (tecWAVE).

We are dedicated to developing theoretically driven and classroom-tested techniques that enhance the word learning of all children.
