The Impact of Using Wall Charts on Teaching English Vocabulary to Primary School Students

Abstract

Walk into any class, especially one in a primary school, and you will most likely see charts on the wall. Charts provide information on a specific topic in the form of a list, diagram, graph or table. Charts can be used for any subject. In math, for example, students may chart their height in feet and inches. In Geography, the students may list their ancestors' different countries of origin. Charts are also helpful for teaching step processes. What do children do after they wake up in the morning and in what order? In middle school and high school, charts can be used to demonstrate how characters interact in a novel or how historic events interconnect during specific decades.
