This article explores the effectiveness of teaching vocabulary through contextual learning, emphasizing its role in enhancing students’ comprehension and retention of academic language. By integrating new vocabulary into meaningful contexts - such as texts, discussions, and real-life scenarios - learners are better equipped to understand word usage, connotation, and collocation. The study highlights strategies that support contextual learning in classroom settings and reviews research demonstrating improved vocabulary acquisition and language proficiency. The findings suggest that contextual learning offers a more holistic and lasting approach to vocabulary instruction compared to isolated memorization.
