Pedagogical Implications in EFL Classrooms: A Reflective Praxis of Vocabulary Strategies and Techniques

Abstract

Teaching vocabulary is a challenging ordeal, not only because of the vastness of vocabulary but also because it takes much effort to enable the students to acquire the meaning with their correct usage. The study uses qualitative research to elaborate strategies that can be implemented in EFL classrooms to teach vocabulary-based content. The present study has highlighted the meaning of reflective praxis in the teaching-learning process and how the process of reflection ultimately has a desirable impact on both the teachers and the students. The researcher has adopted the pragmatic approach as the paper emphasizes the possible difficulties teachers and students can face in teaching and learning vocabulary. The article foregrounds problems and is followed by their practical solutions in pedagogy. The study proposes a problem-solving approach to teaching vocabulary in EFL classrooms. It focuses on improving the lexical competence of the learners, which is considered one of the most essential components of language building.

Analyzing Facebook Mobile Usage: Efficacy and ESL Learners’ Writing Proficiency

“…In this regard, the results of the studies [52], [53], [55], [57], [58] are in line with the objective of improving language skills. These studies demonstrated how morphological-based activities can be used to enhance language [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62], [63].

Moreover, numerous research supports the idea of using different sorts of practical eclectic praxis can be used to curtail errors of students in real life contexts (Alam et al, 2022;Alam et al, 2020;Alam, 2022;Alam, 2023;Mahant et al, 2023). Productive skills of language like writing needs real life practice which can only be provided through communicative strategies or activities that can provides platforms to students to practice language skills .…”

“…The findings of this study hold practical significance for teaching second languages by shedding light on what needs to be taught and effective learning techniques. The study also foregrounds the challenges and issues of today's classroom pedagogy as well as to grasp the nuances of English language as lingua franca (Alam, 2023;.…”

A proposal to use TPR and REALIA to enhance vocabulary acquisition in an EFL class

“…Furthermore, 11 students commented that vocabulary is pivotal to travel to other countries and understand foreign people. Alam (2023), says that productive vocabulary is the words that students can comprehend and pronounce accurately such as speaking and writing in a proper and correct time, for that is essential students expand their vocabulary terms to use and distinguish them from basic vocabulary while they are speaking and writing. Improving productive skills means that students will emphasize learning new words and terms to improve their understanding, facilitating their communication skills to share their ideas and thoughts more effectively to achieve success.…”
