Using Games as a Powerful Tool in Teaching Vocabulary

An IATEFL webinar presented by Angeliki Daviti

This workshop delves into effective strategies for teaching vocabulary in the young learner classroom. We begin by exploring how teachers can maintain young learners' interest and involvement through play and games. The second part introduces a variety of lively and multisensory activities and techniques. The session concludes with an overview of digital tools that enhance vocabulary acquisition. Participants will gain insights into implementing engaging and inclusive teaching methods, backed by research on vocabulary acquisition for young learners. This workshop is ideal for educators aiming to create dynamic lessons using games, multisensory activities, and digital resources to teach vocabulary.
