Abstract
Students find it difficult to use the right words at the right place while writing or speaking. There is a paucity of vocabulary among youngsters limited to repetition of words such as “like”, “cool” and “neat”. While teaching rural and semi-urban students, it was found that many words remained dormant in students as passive vocabulary. To overcome this hurdle, the method of jargon recollection, selection and application was practised. Though the results were mixed, some progress was made among learners in bringing the passive vocabulary into an active one.
