As Steven Stahl (2005) puts it, “Vocabulary knowledge is knowledge; the knowledge of a word not only implies a definition but also implies how that word fits into the world. Vocabulary forms the cornerstone of language learning. For pre-intermediate learners, building a solid lexical foundation is crucial for effective communication. However, vocabulary teaching must transcend rote memorization to encompass meaningful, contextual, and integrative methods. The integrated approach blends vocabulary instruction with reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities, ensuring holistic language development. An integrated approach to teaching vocabulary acknowledges that language skills are interconnected. Words gain meaning through context, and learners internalize vocabulary more effectively when they see its relevance in real-life situations. For pre- intermediate students, who are navigating foundational grammar and communicative abilities, this approach bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The integrated approach to teaching, particularly in the context of language learning, offers several benefits: 1. Contextualized Learning: Introducing vocabulary within meaningful contexts enhances understanding and retention. This method moves beyond isolated word memorization, connecting new terms to students' existing knowledge and real-life situations 2. Improved Comprehension: Teaching vocabulary in context helps students grasp word meanings, nuances, and appropriate usage, leading to better comprehension skills. 3. Active Engagement: Integrating vocabulary instruction into various subjects and activities keeps students engaged and motivated, as they encounter and apply new words across different contexts. 4. Development of Critical Thinking: Analysing word meanings, synonyms, antonyms, and usage in different contexts encourages critical thinking and deeper understanding. 5. Catering to Diverse Learning Styles: Utilizing a variety of instructional strategies, like visual aids, interactive activities, and discussions, addresses the diverse learning preferences of students, enhancing vocabulary acquisition. There are some strategies for teaching vocabulary. The first one is contextual learning. Introducing vocabulary through context allows students to grasp meanings naturally. By embedding vocabulary within relatable contexts, students grasp not only 209 Xorijiy lingvistika va lingvodidaktika – Зарубежная лингвистика и лингводидактика – Foreign Linguistics and Linguodidactics Special Issue – 1 (2025) / ISSN 2181-3701 the meaning but also the nuances of word usage. Contextual learning bridges the gap between theory and practice, helping students see how vocabulary applies in everyday interactions. For instance: Use a short story or dialogue featuring target words. Highlight and explain new words within the text. Follow up with comprehension questions and discussions to reinforce understanding. Example: If the target words are “bargain,” “discount,” and “purchase,” a shopping-themed dialogue can serve as the learning material: Dialogue: A: "Did you find any good bargains at the store?" B: "Yes, I got a 50% discount on a new jacket! It was such a great purchase." Vocabulary teaching becomes more effective when integrated with grammar lessons. For example, teaching modal verbs (e.g., “should,” “must”) alongside related vocabulary such as “advice,” “obligation,” and “permission” provides a dual focus on grammar and lexis. For activity, students create advice columns where they use modal verbs and target vocabulary to respond to prompts like: "What should I do if I feel stressed?" Another strategy is using visual aids and multimedia. They make vocabulary learning engaging, memorable, and accessible, especially for visual learners. Pictures, flashcards, interactive apps, videos, and infographics can help students associate words with images, enhancing retention. Moreover, group work encourages communication and interaction, which are essential for language acquisition. Collaborative tasks allow students to practice vocabulary in a natural, supportive environment. They mimic real- world conversations, promoting active vocabulary usage. The other strategy is repetition and review. They are key to retaining vocabulary. Recycling previously learned words in new contexts helps reinforce memory. For example: if the teach
