WAYS OF IMPROVING SCHOOL STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY THROUGH JIGSAW TECHNIQUES

Abstract

The article analyzes the potential possibilities of using the “Jigsaw” technique to improve vocabulary of school students. The study is based on a synthesis of theoretical frameworks and empirical research, identifying the mechanisms through which Jigsaw activities contribute to vocabulary improvement. Enhancing vocabulary proficiency holds significant importance for school students as it alleviates the mastery of educational content, enhances reading and writing competencies, fosters the cultivation of critical thinking abilities, and augments self-assurance. Creating a collaborative learning environment and encouraging participation makes Jigsaw methods an excellent tool for educators striving to expand their students' vocabulary repertoire. Research findings suggest that Jigsaw activities stimulate active engagement, foster collaborative efforts, and facilitate profound comprehension, consequently resulting in substantial enhancements in students' vocabulary proficiency. The article discusses practical implications and offers ideas and guidelines for further research to enrich teaching practice and educational policy.
