This chapter showcases the vocabulary teaching practices of two award-winning Singaporean primary teachers. Shakila uses structured, research-based methods that emphasize formative assessment, tiered word selection, and student-led co-construction of learning. Nordiana integrates drama techniques—including role-play and Mantle of the Expert—drawing on theories by Vygotsky and Gardner to foster immersive, contextualized learning. Together, their approaches show how explicit instruction and creative dramatization enhance vocabulary retention, application, and learner motivation. Emphasizing student agency and contextual use, the chapter illustrates how vocabulary teaching can go beyond memorization to promote deeper understanding, independence, and critical thinking in primary classrooms.
