THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INCREASING STUDENTS' ENGLISH LEXICON
Abstract
The development of students’ English vocabulary plays a vital role in their overall language proficiency and communicative competence. A well-developed lexicon enables learners to comprehend texts more effectively, express ideas accurately, and engage in meaningful communication. This article explores the significance of vocabulary expansion in English language learning, emphasizing its impact on reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Furthermore, it discusses effective strategies and approaches that teachers can apply to enrich students’ vocabulary, including the use of authentic materials, contextual learning, and technology-based tools. Expanding students’ lexicon not only supports academic success but also equips them with the linguistic resources necessary for professional and intercultural communication in the modern world.
