INNOVATIVE METHODS FOR ENHANCING VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This article explores innovative methods for enhancing vocabulary development in primary school students, highlighting the significance of diverse instructional strategies that integrate traditional and modern approaches. Drawing insights from pivotal studies, it underscores the role of explicit instruction, memory association strategies, and repeated practice in fostering vocabulary acquisition. Additionally, the research emphasizes the benefits of engaging methods such as music, storytelling, and the use of technology to create interactive and stimulating learning environments. Specific focus is given to the use of semantic, contextual, and morphological analyses to develop vocabulary retention and comprehension skills. The importance of learner autonomy, teacher modeling, and the creation of word-rich environments is also discussed, advocating for the use of tools like semantic mapping, vocabulary notebooks, and hypermedia platforms. Collectively, the findings highlight the need for multifaceted, student-centered approaches tailored to the diverse needs of learners, ensuring effective vocabulary instruction and language development in primary education.
