This article presents methods for improving memory and enriching the vocabulary of English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. Vocabulary acquisition is essential for foreign language learning, as it involves memorizing a large number of words and using them correctly in spoken language. Memory plays a crucial role in this process. The article briefly discusses the psychological aspects of memory and explains the main types of memory that can improve vocabulary retention. It also describes effective learning techniques such as mnemonics, regular repetition, and learning in context. Examples of practical exercises illustrate how these techniques can improve vocabulary memorization.
