Vocabulary refers to all the words known and used by a person. A person's vocabulary is important for expressing ideas, feelings, and needs, as well as understanding others. There are different types of vocabulary including listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Vocabulary should be learned through high and low frequency words, as well as using four strands: learning from meaningful input and output, deliberate learning, and developing fluency across skills like listening, speaking, reading and writing.
