The basic aim of vocabulary games is to increase the student's repertoire of words - perhaps by extending his/her vocabulary or perhaps by giving him/her practice in using what s/he already knows. Some examples of vocabulary games include semantic mapping, word chain, etc.When learners study, they can make a chart like a graphic representation of the material they are studying or have studied. This chart is the 'semantic map' representing what they have studied.Preparing a good semantic map requires that learners be good critical thinkers because they must make insightful judgments on what format, words and phrases best represent the information that they have gone through and what will help them to recall the information whenever they need it.There is no correct way to construct a semantic map because what works for one learner will not necessarily work for another. The test as to whether or not the semantic map is correct comes when the learner uses it for study purposes and finds that it does help him/her to recall the relevant vocabularies.Semantic Mapping is simple to implement and can be adapted to meet a variety of objectives. One can use the following procedure:Choose a word or topicWrite the word on chalkboard/chart paperAsk students what kind of information they would like to includeEncourage students to think of and write as many related words as possibleWrite the words under the appropriate headingHave a class discussion, using the map as a guideHence, it is clear that the Semantic mapping strategy is effective for enhancing vocabulary among learners.
