Teaching strategies to improve vocabulary in the english learning process in 10th grade students in Pimampiro city

Abstract

The research, Teaching strategies to improve vocabulary in the english learning process in 10th grade students in Pimampiro city, analyzes the challenges in English vocabulary acquisition among tenth-grade students and seeks to identify the cognitive, affective, and contextual barriers that delay its learning, and how new pedagogical approaches help to solve these issues. A qualitative method was applied: 10 interviews to students and 5 interviews to English teachers. The results showed that students face difficulties such as insufficient practice, anxiety, and demotivation because of limited time and class size. It was found that the integration of technology (videos, music, games, etc.) is effective. In conclusion, the need to employ dynamic, student-centered teaching strategies is emphasized, and teacher training is suggested to transform vocabulary teaching into an effective method.
