Vocabulary acquisition is foundational in early childhood language development, especially for children learning English as a second or foreign language. This article explores effective strategies and teaching methods for enhancing English vocabulary learning among young children aged 3–7. Drawing upon recent literature and methodological principles, it identifies storytelling, music, games, visual aids, and physical engagement as key techniques for vocabulary instruction. The study also discusses how repetition, scaffolding, and contextual learning support retention and understanding. Practical implications are provided for educators seeking to implement research-based strategies in early childhood English language teaching.
