The Importance of Learning Vocabulary for Young Learners
Abstract
Because the meanings of new words are frequently highlighted, whether in books or in classes, vocabulary learning is an essential component of foreign language learning. It is also important to language teaching and crucial to a language learner, especially for young learners. In this article, I outline significant data on the effectiveness of vocabulary while also discussing various interesting approaches employed by English teachers when teaching English to young learners, as well as my own personal perspective on these concerns.
