How to learn new words

These are some suggestions of how to learn new words with you students



I took these ideas from the discussion forum on this website (Cambridge Englishteacher)


  • Highlight new words that you see and look them up;
  • Keep a vocabulary notebook;
  • Through reading;
  • "you can learn new words if you are able to read everyday";
  • Through writing;
  • Through songs;
  • Using visual aids (photos, pictures);
  • Through games;
  • Watch movies;
  • Repeat it very often;
  • Always create a context in which you can use a new word;
  • Write this word as many times as you can;
  • Make associations;
  • Learn new words in a context;
  • Make your own sentences with new words;
  • Learn expressions with this word;
  • Find synonyms/ antonyms to these words;
  • Learn new words by sticking sticky notes (post it notes) around the house in various places so that you are reminded of words;
