The Importance of Exposure and Activation

Building vocabulary in a foreign language requires two crucial elements: exposure and activation. Exposure refers to regularly engaging with the target language through various activities like listening to podcasts, reading, or conversing. To maximize vocabulary development, consistent daily exposure to English is vital, encouraging learners to integrate the language into their routines. Meanwhile, activation involves actively processing and using new words, ensuring that simply consuming language is complemented by proactive learning strategies.
