A Variety of Effective Methods to Teach Vocabulary in EFL Classes

Abstract

In recent decades, teaching English has become increasingly popular in Uzbekistan, particularly among young students. English is now a core subject taught in kindergarten and elementary and high schools. While children in Uzbekistan are generally eager and quick to pick up new languages, they can easily become uninterested if traditional teaching methods are used. Vocabulary is quite challenging to teach because of the complexity of its linguistic, semantic and cognitive aspects. Therefore, teachers should keep searching for ways to teach them with more effective techniques. The purpose of this paper is to propose a few efficacious methods to teach vocabulary in EFL classes.
