Vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental component of foreign language learning, especially at the primary level. Since vocabulary is the foundation of communication, teaching it effectively enables learners to express themselves fluently and understand others better. This article explores the importance of vocabulary instruction for young learners and provides a comprehensive analysis of effective techniques used to teach vocabulary in primary schools. Moreover, it examines the psychological, linguistic, and pedagogical aspects of vocabulary teaching and offers practical recommendations for classroom application. The findings indicate that visual aids, storytelling, songs, games, and technological tools play a significant role in vocabulary retention and communicative competence
