Principles of teaching vocabularyOnline version

Choose the recommendations for teaching vocabulary you find reasonable.

by Olena Chukhno
1

Have Ss look up words in a dictionary and write their own sentences to illustrate the meaning.

2

Introduce a manageable number of new words at a time to avoid overwhelming Ss.

3

Ask Ss to copy words repeatedly to remember them better.

4

Encourage Ss to be inquisitive and explore new words they encounter on their own.

5

Offer regular practice and review of words over time to help Ss retain and internalize new vocabulary.

6

Give learners long lists of new words to learn by heart.

7

Select words carefully, ensuring they are relevant to the educational content.

8

Introduce a lot of related words at a single lesson – synonyms, antonyms, or words from the same lexical set.

9

Ask Ss to copy dictionary definitions.

10

Teach words outside of meaningful contexts.

11

Use images, gestures, and actions to make vocabulary more engaging and easier to remember.

12

Relate the target vocabulary to previously learned words, patterns, or analogies to facilitate understanding.

13

Offer multiple opportunities for Ss to practice using new words in both oral and written communication.

14

Engage Ss in diverse activities, including individual learning, strategy development, and building lexical awareness.

15

Ensure that explanations are concise and avoid unnecessary complexity.

16

Focus solely on memorizing definitions without understanding the meaning.

17

Provide clear, accessible definitions that are age-appropriate and easy for Ss to understand.

18

Avoid using visual aids or physical actions to support vocabulary instruction.

19

Show Ss how understanding roots, prefixes, and suffixes can help them figure out meanings of unfamiliar words.
