The role of context in teaching English vocabulary is crucial for developing learners’ communicative competence. However, many teachers and students face difficulties when dealing with contextualized vocabulary learning. This paper discusses the main problems related to using context in vocabulary teaching and proposes possible solutions. It focuses on challenges such as misunderstanding of contextual meaning, insufficient exposure to real-life contexts, and lack of appropriate teaching techniques. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating contextual clues into reading, listening, and speaking tasks to enhance lexical competence.Downloads
