When possible, try to learn and teach words and phrases in meaningful groups e.g. classroom language. This makes them easier to remember.
How do your students organise their vocabulary books? Here are some ways of grouping new words:
. in pairs e.g. words that are similar in meaning or the opposite (your students get two for the price of one!)
. by topic e.g. family, parts of the body
. in grammatical groups e.g. adverbs of frequency: never, sometimes, often, always
. on a scale or steps e.g. baby - child - teenager - adult - pensioner
