Well-developed vocabulary skills are crucial for effective communication. Didactically speaking, it is therefore essential to explicitly foster the development of lexical competence in the classroom. This applies to both learners of German as a first and second language. The design of systematic vocabulary activities should aim to increase both the quality and quantity of learners‘ word knowledge and to ensure long-term retention of acquired words. While various approaches exist for teaching vocabulary in foreign language teaching, systematic and targeted approaches for supporting vocabulary acquisition in teaching German as a first language have yet to be established and, more importantly, effectively implemented in the classroom. Drawing upon findings from language acquisition research and linguistic models, we propose a framework for explicit
vocabulary activities that facilitates the integration of new words into learners‘ mental lexicons (vocabulary breadth) and, in connection with this, promotes the development of semantic, relational, and formal word knowledge (vocabulary depth). The article will demonstrate how this framework was implemented in Deutsch Kindergarten, a new teaching resource developed in Switzerland. It will also highlight broader didactic principles, such as criteria for vocabulary selection and principles for vocabulary teaching, which should be considered in the classroom.
