METHODS OF DEVELOPING PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS' LEXICAL SKILLS

Abstract

Introduction Building pupils' lexical skills at the primary school level is a key element of language learning because vocabulary forms are the basis for both understanding and expressing meaning. Lexical competence is a key component of language proficiency. From the very beginning, when children's language systems are still in the process of formation, it is crucial to create learning environments that provide vocabulary acquisition in natural, engaging, and age-appropriate ways. With the development of new technologies, teachers are expected to implement innovative strategies to improve vocabulary growth. Traditional methods of vocabulary teaching, such as memorization and isolated word lists, are not effective. Instead, modern pedagogical approaches emphasize interaction, contextual learning, and the integration of games and digital tools. This paper explores effective methods for developing lexical skills of learners, emphasizing the recent pedagogical research and practical classroom strategies. The aim of this article is to investigate effective techniques for developing lexical skills in primary school pupils.
