ENHANCING VOCABULARY ACQUISITION IN ESL EDUCATION: BRIDGING THEORY AND PTACTICE
Abstract
This article examines effective strategies for enhancing vocabulary acquisition in ESL contexts by bridging theoretical insights and classroom practice. It highlights the importance of integrating intentional and incidental learning approaches through authentic reading materials and task-based activities. The study reviews existing literature and outlines methodologies including experimental designs, lexical-focused tasks, and the use of multimedia tools. Findings suggest that combining explicit instruction with contextual exposure significantly improves both receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge. Furthermore, technology-enhanced learning and visual support contribute to better retention and learner engagement. The article concludes that a balanced, learner-centered approach is essential for sustainable vocabulary development.
