Abstract: Teaching vocabulary to young learners is a fundamental aspect of
language education, essential for fostering effective communication and literacy
development. The integration of new pedagogical technologies into vocabulary
instruction offers promising opportunities to enhance learning outcomes and
engagement among young learners. However, alongside these opportunities come
practical issues that educators must navigate to effectively leverage technology in the
classroom. This article explores the practical issues surrounding the teaching of
vocabulary to young learners within the framework of new pedagogical technologies.
Through a critical examination of challenges such as access to technology, digital
literacy skills, and concerns about screen time, we offer strategies for educators to
overcome these obstacles and harness the full potential of technology in fostering
vocabulary acquisition and language development among young learners. By
addressing these challenges thoughtfully and proactively adapting instructional
practices, educators can create a dynamic and impactful learning experience that equips
young learners with the linguistic tools they need to thrive in an increasingly digital
world.
