INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING VOCABULARY TO A1 AND A2 LEVEL EFL LEARNERS

This article explores innovative strategies for teaching vocabulary to A1 and A2 level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Beginning language learners face various challenges in acquiring new vocabulary, including retention, pronunciation, and contextual understanding. To address these challenges, teachers can employ interactive and visual learning techniques, leverage technology through apps and online resources, and incorporate fun games and activities into lessons. Contextual learning and storytelling provide meaningful contexts for vocabulary use, while repetition and reinforcement ensure long-term retention. Personalizing lessons to align with learners' interests boosts motivation, and regular assessment with constructive feedback helps monitor progress. By implementing these strategies, teachers can enhance vocabulary acquisition and retention, laying a strong foundation for learners' future language development.
