Retrieval is the action of recalling and using language stored in long-term memory.

Have you tried these practical activities to help students with vocabulary learning? There's something for all ages and levels.

This activity can be used for all levels in teaching English as a second language. I use it mainly for intermediate students and they find it interesting.

This revision activity has always helped my students to remember words that they have not used for a while, as well as allowing peer teaching. 

This revision activity is in the format of a generic TV quiz show. 

These are three activities you can use at the end of a school year or course.

Consolidation is a lesson stage where new material is reviewed, and hopefully learning is reinforced. It normally occurs at the end of the lesson.

Divide the class in two teams. Give each team a set of slips with five (or three or two, depending on their level) things they have to name.
