I emphasize the importance of learning vocabulary in context. Instead of just memorizing words, I encourage students to use them in sentences or during discussions about topics they're interested in. 😎
I use slides with labelled images and a relevant guided conversations.
I will make sure every single day the student learn a single word and use it in some small sentences and will advise him or her to make sure use it too in his or her conversation with other learners

Make an emphasis on learning vocabulary by repetition, role playing, dialogs and relevant themes. This helps students to engage in the lesson more and it develops their vocabulary.
- Engage through interactive activities. -Reinforce learning with repetition.
I use a lot of dialogues to practice with elementary-level students. I do a role-playing all the time to get them to use the intonation of a dialogue, such as in questions. I think the dialogues help not only with new vocabulary and grammar, but also introduce the student to the "real life" of the English language.
Introduce vocabulary around specific themes, like food, family, or hobbies. This helps students build a focused set of words they can use in everyday conversations.
First use pictures of planned set of vocabs and then put those words into a dialogues and get the students engaged into them.
Use pictures, flashcards and videos to help them associate words with meanings.
