• Pick generative words
  
• Present them in semantically rich contexts
  
• Provide learner-friendly definitions
  
• Ensure recurrent exposures
  
• Encourage experimentation, expect mistakes
  
• Expand each word’s semantic mapping
  
• Provide opportunities to use the words
  
• Teach word-learning strategies (morphology, cognates, using contextual information)
• Cultivate "word awareness"
