Vocabulary acquisition in young learners

As a former Comenius language assistant in Ireland, Tralee Educate Together N. S. and currently a student of Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic, I am writing a thesis about vocabulary acquisition in young learners. I would like to collect some more data to make a clearer picture of how the language support works in other schools or other English-speaking countries. Everybody's firsthand experience opinion will be very valuable to me, either if it is a teacher's, trainee teacher's, or parent's one.

  8. there are other ways to improve our memory too. like eating the right nutrition (brain food). some of these are: vitamin c is an antioxidant and it prevents damage leading to different types of diseases. vitamin b can improve our thinking ability. vitamin e can help preserve brain function and protect nerve-cell degeneration. it is also one of the important antioxidants that our brain needs. carbohydrates are good for the brain because they contain glucose, which is known as brain fuel. it provides energy for us to concentrate, remember, learn, and engage in other activities. then there's protein. amino acids are obtained from protein. neurotransmitters need those amino acids to relay messages from one nerve cell to another. a high-protein meal can make us feel energized because it increases the tyrosine levels in our brain and blood. tyrosine and tryptophan are some of the different types of amino acids. and because tyrosine can make us feel more energized, our brain can concentrate better.
