However, as students and teachers, we have noticed that vocabulary has been given little attention, despite its importance in reaching language's main goal of communication. Therefore, we decided to do this research to find effective ways to improve vocabulary teaching among EFL students A deep revision and exploration of bibliography suggested that the use of supplementary vocabulary activities could be a good way to enhance vocabulary teaching
