Glossary of Cognates
English / French

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.
