Vocabulary activities

I have taught English about three and half years but I still cannot find some suitable ways to teach lexis. Thanks to your resouces, hence I can find tons of useful methods for my further teaching.

1. Reading a lot: Reading everything we can get your hands on is one of the most passive and most effective ways to boost your vocabulary.
2. Keeping a thesaurus and a dictionary nearby.
3. Making Flashcards.
4. Describing our Surroundings.
5. Listening to Music.
6. Committing to learning one new word every day.

Thanks to the oppotunity of increasing our way to teach!

Thanks for sharing vocabulary activities! I mostly use hot seat and vocabulary box in teaching, in my point of view these activities help students to remember words easily.

That was so helpful in my classes.

Perfect! thank you!

THANK YOU! so helpful.

I've been teaching for more than 30 years and I needed some fresh activities for a young student with learning difficulties who is not so intersted in learning. Thank you for all these helpful ideas! I think my lessons will be brighter using them!

Hi marilek

Thanks for sharing . You are very helpful . I always looked for resources for improving vocabulary comprehension

I had just attended Ms. Iyabọ Akintola's session on Problem Solving through vocabulary games and was referred to this resource page.

Thank you for the resources! I teach neurodivergent students, and I am always seeking engaging ways to educate them.

Hi M. Tyler

Fantastic! I'm glad you found this page and hope these resources are useful for you and that you enjoyed the webinar :)

You might also find these resources useful for supporting neurodivergent learners - the first is an article and the second is a series of webinars on neurodivergence in the classroom:
