Techniques in Teaching Vocabulary in Beginner Classes
(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Yakup Doganay
This article explores the importance of vocabulary teaching in early English learning and presents practical techniques for effective vocabulary instruction. The author emphasizes that vocabulary knowledge plays a central role in communication and language fluency, yet it is often neglected in early education. The paper outlines several stages and methods, including the use of realia, visual aids, gestures, repetition, and communicative activities to make word learning meaningful. It also discusses the necessity of creating a sense of need for vocabulary among learners, encouraging active use through drawing, guessing games, and writing tasks. The article highlights that vocabulary learning should go beyond rote memorization, integrating context, emotion, and interaction to ensure long-term retention. The study concludes that teachers should adopt structured, student-centered approaches to vocabulary teaching to enhance learners’ motivation and communicative competence.
