This document discusses best practices for teaching vocabulary to language learners. It notes that full learning of a word requires multiple exposures over time, through meaningful input and output. It recommends systematically teaching only high frequency and academic vocabulary, and helping learners develop strategies for independent vocabulary learning. Effective teaching involves exposing words in different contexts and meanings, using first language translations, spacing practice over time, and balancing direct instruction with other learning strands.
This document discusses various strategies for teaching vocabulary to primary English students, including flashcards, games, model sentences, origami, graphic organizers, and puzzles/pictures/posters. Flashcards are introduced as a popular method that can be used for different themes over time through various matching and memory games. Model sentences demonstrate proper usage of new words through simple examples. Graphic organizers like maps and charts provide visual learning methods. The document encourages reusing activities and tailoring them to students' ages.
This document provides ideas for English language teachers on how to teach vocabulary in the classroom.

This document discusses techniques for teaching vocabulary to young learners. It begins by explaining why vocabulary is important, as words are like bricks that build language. It then provides five techniques to teach vocabulary: 1) pointing using flashcards, 2) substitution using synonyms and antonyms, 3) naming by substituting words in contexts, 4) miming and using actions, and 5) using real objects. Finally, it describes six activities to engage young learners in vocabulary learning: Sparkle, Spelling Bulls-eye, Word Ladder, Guess the Word, and Vocabulary Puzzle. The goal is to make vocabulary learning interesting, relevant, and achievable for students.

The document discusses effective vocabulary instruction strategies supported by research. It recommends explicitly teaching vocabulary words, including providing student-friendly definitions and examples of words in context. It also suggests varying vocabulary instruction tasks, such as asking questions about word meanings, and relating words to students' prior knowledge and experiences. The document emphasizes the importance of multiple exposures, active engagement, and relating new words to known words.
