Abstract

The English language is becoming more and more common in practically every aspect of human endeavor every year. English, the language used for international communication, is evolving quickly. As a result, there are numerous educational platforms, innovative approaches to teaching, and a wide range of courses available for both teachers and students. There are a lot of really good ways to teach the lexical component of speech at the moment. This article explores mnemonics, which we believe to be one of the most fascinating and practical strategies. The article's relevance stems from the fact that English language instructors in schools must either reject in whole or in part the conventional approaches of teaching the lexical component of speech since they fail to encourage students to learn the language and do not help them retain words over time. The purpose of this study is to determine how beneficial mnemonics are for middle school vocabulary instruction in foreign languages. The study's focus is on mnemonic devices used in secondary English language instruction to help students learn vocabulary. Mnemonics are a useful tool for helping middle school students effectively assimilate lexical units. The following techniques were applied when composing this article: examination of the psychological and methodological literature on the subject of the study; evaluation of the utility of mnemonics in middle school; enumeration and explanation of mnemonic exercise programs; theoretical extrapolation of the study findings.
