introduce the vocabulary in the context of vocabulary the learners have already met

 Don`t teach more than 5-7 items at a time

 Teach new items early in the lesson

Learners remember the words better if they have some personal significance or emotional connation (You have to give personal examples, provide experiences with the words, have students create images and relate them to their own lives…)

Display the new vocabulary permanently

Words map (mind map, brainstorm...)

Vocabulary is best learned in groups of related words

Teach learning vocabulary strategies (pay attention to the words shape, look, say, cover, write, check; get students to use a vocabulary notebook, teach learner to group words into categories…
