Abstract: Traditionally, vocabulary was neglected in language teaching programs and curriculums for the sake of grammar and other parts of language.Nowadays, however, researchers have realized that vocabulary is an important part of language learning and teaching and worthy of attention and research.A proliferation of studies done on vocabulary can be taken as a proof to it.Students are, however, reported to frustrate when they face with new words, since they have difficulty retaining them.This paper provides information on how mnemonics devices can be used to solve this problem and to improve vocabulary learning, boost memory and enhance creativity.
