We know that there are three main elements of a language as Vocabulary, Pronunciation and Grammar, essential in language acquisition. Teaching vocabulary is always being a great concern for any English language teaching course. Therefore, quite a lot of teachers are really focused on how to make a vocabulary lesson more interesting and memorable for students. Vocabulary learning can be often seen as a laborious process of memorizing lists of unrelated terms. However, there are many much more successful and interesting ways to learn and teach vocabulary.
