Abstract

Vocabulary plays a crucial role in language acquisition, serving as the foundation for communication and comprehension. Without sufficient vocabulary knowledge, learners struggle to express ideas, understand texts, and participate in meaningful interactions. This article explores effective strategies for teaching English vocabulary, focusing on both traditional and modern approaches. It highlights the importance of context-based learning, active engagement, technology integration, and learner autonomy. Additionally, the study discusses challenges faced by teachers and suggests practical solutions to enhance vocabulary retention and usage. The findings emphasize that a combination of diverse, student-centered techniques leads to more effective vocabulary instruction.
