Various methods of teaching vocabulary can be used by the teachers such as- pre-teaching vocabulary words, repeated exposure of words, key word methods, word maps, root analysis, incidental learning, context skills, and so on.One of the most effective methods of learning vocabulary is pre-teaching vocabulary words. It includes knowing unfamiliar words through reading experiences. The unfamiliar words are marked and then discussed in details. In short, this technique is called PTV. Another form of PTV is picture showing which is often done for teaching vocabulary to secondary students. Repeated exposure to words is another method where revision is done to renew the memory of word stocks. In this method, when new words are memorized, they are re-memorized after some period of time as revisions thus a cyclic order in maintained. The keyword method is a flexible one which has a variety of cooperative applications. Such as Giving alternative to remember unknown words such as ranidae(frog) for rand. Keywords have also been used to improve remember map locations. A word map is a visual director that promotes vocabulary development. Using a graphic organizer, students think about terms or concepts in several ways. Most word map organizers engage students in developing a definition, synonyms, antonyms, and a picture for a given vocabulary word or concept. Enhancing students' vocabulary is important to developing their reading comprehension.
