The basic goals of teaching a new language include the growth of their pupils' vocabulary. They will also acknowledge that learning vocabulary is a rather more complex process than it might first appear. To know a word in a target language means the ability to:
- recognise it in its spoken or written form
- recall it whenever needed
- pronounce it while speaking
- in an acceptable manner
- use it in the appropriate grammatical form
- spell it correctly while writing and use it at the appropriate level of formality while speaking and writing.
It can be improved by using various objects so that student remember their name, referring to its illustration, asking children to use it in a sentence when child know its meaning, reading new and different text, guessing from the context, sorting, using synonyms and antonyms, knowing the etymology of a word. It is interesting to know that even creative activities like drawing can help in building vocabulary because a learner will have to know the 'word' that he has drawn.
Hence, we conclude that both techniques can be used to introduce new vocabulary.
