Keywords:
multisensory learning, visual, auditory, and tactile strategies, vocabulary acquisition, bilingual learners, memorization, engagement of language learners, innovative methods, multiple senses, retention of information.Abstract
This article gives information about the potential of multisensory learning (visual, auditory, and tactile strategies) to enhance vocabulary acquisition among bilingual learners. Relying on existing literature and insights from notable researchers, it highlights the importance of using multisensory techniques and claims the integration of these methods as a more effective strategy for memorization and engagement of language learners.
