This study explores effective strategies for building English vocabulary among primary school students through the adoption of simple daily habits. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research examines the perceptions and experiences of senior-level English philology students regarding the use of visual aids, auditory engagement, and multi-sensory learning techniques in vocabulary acquisition. The findings highlight the benefits of employing a combination of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning strategies, such as writing new words, connecting them with images, and incorporating singing and music-based activities. The results provide practical recommendations for language educators to optimize vocabulary instruction and foster the development of sustainable vocabulary-building habits in young learners.
