Bog'liq BEST APPROACHES IN TEACHING LEXIS TO YOUNG LEARNERS..METHODOLOGIES AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Given the interplay of factors impacting youth word learning, a multidimensional instructional approach is warranted (Neuman et al., 2017). [6] Evidence supports several core techniques.
Teacher modeling and story reading surround students with diverse vocabulary in context (Gonzalez et al., 2010). [7] Both conversational and academic words should be explicitly highlighted, defined student-friendly terms and reinforced through repetition (Manyak & Bauer, 2009). Sentence frames guide production while discussion elicits active usage (Carlo et al., 2004). [8] Labeling classroom objects, displaying word walls and providing related literature also facilitates incidental acquisition (Jackson et al., 2007). [9]
RESULTS
Children benefit from dual coding across verbal and visual networks, with multimedia resources tapped for contextual clues. [4] Digital games focus attention while image association techniques leverage memorial vividness. Video formats integrate audio, text and graphics with familiar tropes (music, characters) to aid comprehension. [2]
Kinesthetic, affective and social dimensions of whole body engagement strengthen memory traces for the youngest learners. [3] Vocabulary-infused learning centers allow object manipulation as songs, chants and movement activate mental lexicons. [4] Instructional conversations around texts elicit reasoning and application to students’ lives, boosting word retention.
Ludic approaches motivate students through amusement, challenge and curiosity. [6] Bingo, Pictionary, taboo and word association games prompt playful usage and recall. [7] Puzzles translate new words into physical constructs enacted cooperatively. [8] Game narratives stimulate creativity and emotional connection absent from rote techniques. [9]
Reading volume exposes students to more vocabulary in diverse contexts than direct teaching alone. [10] Guided selection of accessible texts ensures comprehension needed to infer meaning, while challenge stretches lexicons. Fiction offers engagement as non-fiction provides domain-specific words. Independent reading for pleasure suits varied interests and develops self-efficacy. Challenges and Recommendations
Despite a solid evidence base, applying optimal vocabulary methodologies with young learners poses certain constraints for teachers, along with feasible solutions.
Prescribed curricula often disregard students’ lexical readiness. Dynamic assessment informs appropriate terms for introduction through pre-tests, observation and gradual selection. Mixed ability grouping provides differentiation without isolating strugglers.
Multifaceted programs require funds, space and educator capacity exceeding many school budgets. Prioritizing instructional time for vocabulary builds cost-effective routines. [8] Collaborating with support staff (librarians, speech pathologists) pools resources for a richer language environment.
Maintaining excitement around word learning challenges teachers vying for attention with digital media. Yet well-designed games harness children’s participatory culture through narrative and creative risk-taking. Enabling choice in
activities sustains autonomy and heightens motivation.
