Definition
Vocabulary is all the language and words either used or understood by a person or group of people. Vocabulary (from the Latin for "name" also called word stock, lexicon, and lexis) refers to all the words in a language that are understood by a particular person or group of people. There are two main types of vocabulary: active and passive.
Strategies for Teaching Vocabulary
Commonly, there are several techniques concerning the teaching of vocabulary . -Techniques employed by teacher depend of some factors, such as the content, time availability, and its value for the learners (Takac 2018) -Teachers, furthermore, are suggested to employ planned vocabulary presentation as various as possible
1.Using object
Using this technique includes the use of realia, visual aids, and demonstration. Real objects techniques is appropriately employed for beginners or young learners and when presenting concrete vocabulary. (Girard 1992)
2.Drawing
Objects can either be drawn on the blackboard or drawn on flash cards. The latter can be used again and again in different contexts if they are made with cards and covered in plastic.
3.Contrast
Some word are easily explained to learners by contrasting it with its opposite, for instance, the word “good” contrasted with the word “bad”. (Rudska, 1982, 1985)
4. Using Illustrations and Pictures
Pictures for vocabulary teaching come from many sources. Apart from those drawn by the taecher or students, they are sets of colorfu pictures intended for schools. Pictures cut out of newspapers and magazines are very useful as well.
5. Enumeration
An enumeration is a collection of items that is a complete, listing of all of the items in that collection. In other words, this technique helps when any word is difficult to explain visually. (Harmer 1991)
6. Mime, Expressions and Gestures
Klippel(1994) implies that "mime or gesture is useful if it emphasizes the importance of gestures and facial expression on communication. At the essence it can not only be used to indicate the neaning of a word found in reading passage, but also in speaking activity as it stresses mostly on communication.
7. Guessing from Context
Guessing from context as a way of dealing with unfamiliar vocabulary in unedited selections has been suggested widely by reading specialists (Dubin, 1993). Guessing from context refers to the ability to infer the meaning of an expression using contextual clues.
8. Eliciting
This technique is more motivating and memorable by simply giving pupils a list of words to learn. Eliciting is used to get students to come up with vocabulary items, word meanings, ideas or associations. Eliciting vocabulary and introducing vocabulary is not the same thing.
9. Translation
Even though translation does not create a need or motivation of the learners to think about word meaning (Cameron,2001), in some situations translation could be effective for teachers. (Cameron, 2001)
10. Scales
After the students have learnt two contrasred or related grabadle items, this can be a useful way of revising and feeding in the new items.
11. Drilling
Drilling is employed to make learners get accustomed to the word form especially to how it sounds. To make learners more familiar with the word, drilling should be clear and natural. (Reed, 2012)
12. Spelling the Word
The primary means of spelling is actually memorizing words. Wording spelling needs to be considered since spelling forms of English words is not always inferred by the pronuncition.
13. Semantic map
Semantic mapping is a visual strategy for vocabulary expansion and extension of knowledge by displaying in categories words related to one another. These almost graphic organizers are not pre-made, but made by the students to help "web" out their ideas. Semantic maps go beyond just a graphic organizer. Their strength is "an adaptation of concept definition mapping but [it] builds on students" background knowledge or schema.
Principles of Teaching Vocabulary
1. Focus on rich meanings, not just dictionary definitions
2. Emphasize the connections among words
- One of those key principles is that students work with more extensive or complex definitions or explanations of word meanings. Encourage the encyclopedia explanation over the dictionary meanings. When taech vocabulary, often have the students engage in trying to provide several different versions of a word's definition.
- Evidence reveals that the lexicons in our heads are organized in various networks, not like dictionaries. When you remember a word, you draw from memory a plethora of related ideas- attributes, function, and synonyms related to that word.
Principles of Teaching Vocabulary
3. Promote usage of the words
4. Review is important
- It can be hard to retain vocabulary if you don't get a lot og opportunity to use it. We may teach vocabulary because certain words were prominent in the texts, we were reading this week, but then kids might not see them for a long time. Including words from past weeks on vocabulary quizzes and for the use of vocabulary notebooks to help punch up student' writing during revision.
- It is not enough that students study word meanings, but they have to learn to use these words in their reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Instruction should create opportunities for kids to use words in all of these ways.

5. Involve students in identifying some of the words to be studied
2. Emphasize the connections amongwords
- Not all kids are equally good at such learning and even for those who it is easier, it can still be a tough slog requiring many experiences with a word to get it to stick.
When readers get used to noticing their lack of kowledge of particular words, they will be more likely to try to resolve those gaps when reading. Students will also be more motivated if they have some say so over the curriculum as well.

- Group students into pairs.
- Give each set of students a copy of this printable checkerboard
- Students should write a vocabulary word in white space available in each square.
- As students play through a game of checkers, ask them to provide the correct definition of the word in the square they want to move their piece to.
- Another option could also be having the student use the vocabulary word in a sentence.
- If the student correctly defines the word or uses is in context, they get to claim that square.
Conclusion
To know a word means to know a great deal about it. The process of word learning is incremental and includes the development of vocabulary depth, vocabulary breadth, receptive vocabulary, and productive vocabulary Some aspects of word learning are learned through direct instruction, while others are learned incidentally Teachers should not expect to teach all the words that learners need, but they can equip learners to understand the word-learning process and so effectively use word-learning strategies as independent word learners.
