Oxford, r. & Crookall, d. (1990). Vocabulary learning: a critical analysis of techniques. tesl canada journal! revue tesl du Canada 7(2). (9-30).
Vocabulary learning techniques are categorized into four groups: decontextualizing, semi-contextualizing, fully contextualizing, and adaptable.
Decontextualizing techniques omits the word from communicative context. Semi-contextualizing techniques permits to exist of some of context. Fully contextualizing techniques demonstrated the new words in a semi-communicative context.

Decontextualizing Techniques
Word lists, flashcards, and using conventional dictionary are the techniques that are the most decontextualizing techniques.
Word Lists
Word lists are prevalent means for implanting vocabulary

Visual imagery is based on establishing associations between a picture and a word. The theory of this technique is based on this logician that most learners are able to associate new information to concepts with the help of meaningful visual images which make learning efficient (Bower, 1970; Higbee, 1979; Nyikos, 1987).
Aural Imagery
Aural imagery provides a semi-context for the learner and a connection with what the learners already know. The theory of this technique is that aural imagery makes verbal learning more efficient by associating new sounds with existing sounds in schemata. For instance, German Katze or Russian kot, with the familiar first language word, cat. Moreover, learners may use accent marks, rhymes or phonetic spelling to remember new target language words.
Keyword
The keyword technique is the result of a combination of two aural imagery and visual imagery. The main theory of this technique is that remembering a word in target language can be easier by using visual and auditory links together and be tied strongly to existing schemata. For instance, to learn a new French word potage (soup), the English speaker merges it with a pot and then mentally imagines a pot full of

The theory underlying this technique believes that language can be learned efficiently when words are linked through physical movement, then activating many and different parts of the brain and stimulating the learner's schemata in many ways. In this technique, the teacher gives commands (e.g., going out, walking to the blackboard), which the students act them out, at first without any production in the target language. Later, as students’ proficiency improves, the commands become more elaborative: Take the pencil, go to the pencil sharpener, and sharpen the pencil… One problem with this technique is that it does not manipulate abstract nouns very

Imagery is a visually descriptive or figurative language,especially in a literary work. Imagery is a picture that develops in your head from a word or words that describe something. If you say the dog is black with white spots. The words that are gonna get that picture in your head from the previous sentence is black and white spots. Description words is what makes up most of books and stories without them everything you read would be plain.
Imagery is the sensory details that are used to describe, intrigue emotion, or represent abstractions between things. Imager uses terms related to the five senses which we refer to them as visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory, or olfactory imagery. Examples of visual imagery are “Hell’s wide gaping mouth” and “glowing flames” (108.) This makes the reader visualize what this may look like and causes a sense of fear. Another form of imagery is “You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it” (110.)
Simile: “True, I don’t look so good by the end of the day ... but it’s the brilliant green-and-yellow uniform that gives me away, like prison clothes on a fugitive.” (Ehrenreich 100) In comparing the obviousness of Ehrenreich’s maid outfit, to that of a Prisoner’s, a simile is utilized. This is a smooth and effective way of comparing the two, and adds to somewhat ornate language in Nickel and Dimed.
Visual imagery, a memory technique that involves constructing mental images when learning new information in order to be able to better recall the information later. Mark Bowden gives visual imagery to make a reader understand what a soldiers see’s in the situation. First example, “They came as always, low and loud. Usually they came at night. You would Hear only the thrum of their rotors”(71 Bowden).
“My skin color was an asset for any move I was educated to want to make”(Mcintosh 1). A quote from Peggy McIntosh’s essay shows how the way we are treated in our societies has a direct impact on the way we perform in that society. The essay caused me to think deeply about myself and how I truly am privileged to be white; although we may not notice it there are millions of privileges linked to our skin colour. Upon finishing the reading I was questioning not only white privilege but also things like racism and what I myself could do to help people of other ethnicity’s not feel underprivileged. To begin, Peggy McIntosh mentions in her essay the fact that men have privilege over women causing women disadvantages in the same way whites have power
(Page 77) Because new words in code were formed everyday, they needed a new word for it. Creating a new language can be very complicated, and you need to be able to figure out new words. Especially when trying to remember a new language, it can be hard to remember all of the different new words. You could create a system of remembering by basically nicknaming the words, and remember it by other words you know in the languages you already know. Nicknaming can also help with helping with subjects.

It is the duty of all the early years practitioners and the teachers in the UK to ensure that the children in their care are learning and developing according to the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum for the children from 0-5 and for the children who are from four years upward the National Curriculum. Pritchard (2008) defines learning as a way of acquiring knowledge or getting the knowledge of how things are done. Communication and Language is the one of the prime areas of development of the children in EYFS curriculum (2012), whereby children are supposed to be observed, assessed and supported in their understanding, listening and speaking. Walker (2012) states that children should be given opportunities to access a rich language environment in order to be confident and be able to express themselves as well as be able to listen in various situation. According to EYFS (2012) children between
With this method, which is primarily used for children, subjects are able to understand and expand their abilities of express, motor skills, social situations, attention.

Imagery allows a reader to imagine the events of a story within their mind through mental images. Imagery can describe how something looks, a sound, a feeling, a taste, or a smell. Imagery is especially important when the author is describing a character or a setting. The short story The Man In The Black Suit by Stephen King has several excellent examples of imagery.
A language sample analysis (LSA) is a tool that generates the coding and transcriptions of a language sample to document the language used every day in various speaking situations (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). Language samples are typically 50-100 words in length and are voice-recorded and then transcribed by the clinician. Language samples are done using spontaneous speech, such as typical conversation, or narrative contexts, such as story or event recalls (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). The speech-language pathologist (SLP) will take the recording and write out, in the exact words of the child and clinician, every utterance (Bowen, 2011). The SLP will then "code" the sample.
