IMPROVING VOCABULARY LEARNING WITH A MULTISENSORY APPROACH

This paper explores how multisensory learning improves the acquisition of new vocabulary, especially among second language learners and young students. Multisensory learning involves using more than one sense—such as sight, hearing, touch, and movement—when studying or practicing new words. The approach is grounded in cognitive science, which shows that learning is stronger when it involves both the mind and the body. Research from educational and psychological studies shows that this method helps students remember vocabulary more easily, stay more engaged in lessons, and benefit from different types of learning experiences. By examining real classroom practices and academic findings, this paper presents multisensory learning as a powerful tool for teaching vocabulary effectively.
