Teaching vocabulary plays a pivotal role in effective language instruction in Teaching English as a Foreign
Language (TEFL). This article explores the importance of vocabulary acquisition, emphasizing its incremental nature and
multifaceted aspects, such as receptive and productive knowledge. The difference between direct vocabulary teaching
(explicit instruction) and incidental learning (acquiring knowledge unintentionally) is explored, weighing their effectiveness
and applicability in TEFL contexts. Special attention is given to challenges faced by second-language learners, including
limited exposure to authentic input and opportunities for output. Furthermore, the article examines the integration of technological
tools and interactive games in vocabulary teaching, showcasing their potential to engage learners and reinforce
word mastery through innovative and dynamic approaches. Practical teaching strategies are proposed to bridge learning
gaps and enhance vocabulary acquisition
