Day 1: Observing Natural Encounters with Vocabulary

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder when learning new vocabulary through cartoons or songs, “How do primary EFL students naturally pick up words from cartoons and songs?”.

The answer might be they can repeat catchy phrases but struggle to recall isolated words from class.

The suggested idea could be embed new vocabulary into engaging media and encourage students to mimic characters.

Day 2: Personalizing Vocabulary Learning

Some students respond well to storytelling as they could have them create short stories using learned words.

Others might benefit from role-play (ordering food, asking for directions).

The suggested idea could be let students pick words they encounter outside of class (TV, games, signs) and share with peers.

Once, I saw a student remember a word because they drew it last week. I found out, may be, visual cues help!

The suggested idea could be having students create mind maps with personal connections to words.

Students define words in their own way but struggle with precision.

The suggested idea could be (1) partner them up for a "guess the word" challenge using their own definitions or (2) introduce a "word of the day" challenge where they use a word as much as possible in real life.

Day 5: Gamification for Vocabulary Retention

# data[].attributes.body
Students stayed engaged longer when using Quizizz, Blooket, and Bamboozle for vocabulary review because of competitive elements (leaderboards, rewards) boosted motivation.

The suggested idea could be (1) creating a classroom vocabulary tournament where students earn points by correctly using learned words in context and (2) using badges and level-ups for mastering vocabulary sets, encouraging autonomy in review.
