Basic principles and ideas for teaching vocabulary in the ESL classroom

Implementing tasks with depth

Research tells us that tasks with more cognitive and affective depth can help students learn vocabulary faster when the task involves high order thinking skills and engages them affectively.

Putting ideas to work

In order for students to remember words, they need not only to understand the word but to work with it.
For example, students are given a picture with the body and the parts of the human body have to be marked with lines.

Choosing options for vocabulary input:

real objects
For the set of materials (plastic, cotton and woollen) it’s better to work with real objects presented in the class.
A situation
Use visual material

Talk about stories and show real images, so that when they hear a word they have a memory of the image seen in their imagination and memorize.

Visual Aids
Understand and remember concepts more easily.

For example flashcards, posters or images from the internet.
