How do you teach English vocabulary to the students?

It is important to use various methods of teaching Vocabulary, most method include using Audio/lingual means where the teacher uses audio and visual means to link the vocabulary words to their surrounding world which will ease the process. 

Mulptiple choice examples, texts, synonyms, listening

• You can use a PowerPoint presentation to introduce new vocabulary using pictures and a recorded file for pronunciation.
• You can also use realia (real objects) and miming.
• Then, for drilling and testing, you can use a fill-in-the-gap exercise with or without a list of options-- or even use a multiple choice exercise.

asking them to saves alot of vocabulary this will help them .

To me, and I do this with my own child, is to let them read higher order books, with a dictionary next to them. if they do not understand a word, they look it up and get to know the meaning. this might seem to be time consuming, but it works.

Another way is word association with pictures. You show a picture, and the students must use words describing the different aspects in the picture, e.g. huge, large tall building/ skyscraper.

First, the students should notice the new word by the help of their teacher in

different funy ways, then they will recognize it by the help also and finally,they

will be able to recognize it and use it in some examples by their own.
