ABSTRACT
The article deals with the efficiency of mnemonics application for teaching the English language. Mnemonics is one of active training technologies which rely on lexical and semantic communications and associative thinking. Since ancient times scientists studied properties of memory and offered the ways of simplification the process of storing information by means of various mnemonic techniques.
Key words: English language, mnemonics, method of associations, mnemo-rhyme, method of a chain, mnemo-cards, acronym, pegword.
The word mnemonic originally comes from 'mnemonikos', an Ancient Greek word that refers to memory. The Ancient Greeks also worshipped Mnemosyne, who is the goddess of memory in Greek mythology. Even today, the term 'mnemonic' is frequently used when we're talking about memory and the study of memory!
A mnemonic is an instructional strategy designed to help students improve their memory of important information. This technique connects new learning to prior knowledge through the use of visual and/or acoustic cues. The basic types of mnemonic strategies rely on the use of key words, rhyming words, or acronyms. Teachers may develop mnemonic strategies or have students come up with their own.
Mnemonics are strategies that can be modified to fit a variety of learning content. This method enhances memory of complex words or ideas and promotes better retention of material to be learned.
Modern psychologists and teachers agree that coding of information by means of images and associations accelerates the process of information storing. We are going to consider various methods of mnemonics helping to perceive and reproduce necessary educational information, including foreign words and phrases:
> Associations;
> mnemo-rhymes;
> method of a chain;
> mnemo-cards.
There are also other effective mnemonic techniques, such as: Pegword —
Pegwords refer to a set of rhyming words that are used to stand for numbers. For example, the pegword for "one" is "bun." Pegwords include the following:

one is bun six is sticks two is shoe seven is heaven three is tree eight is gate four is door nine is vine five is hive ten is hen
Keyword — A keyword is a familiar word that sounds similar to the word or idea being taught. The teacher creates an illustration that links the prior and new information in the student's memory. Example: The scientific term for common frogs is ranidae. A helpful keyword for ranidae might be rain and a teacher could show a picture of frogs hopping in the rain.
Letter — Letter strategies include acronyms and acrostics (or sentence mnemonics). For example, the acronym HOMES can be used to help students recall the names of the Great Lakes H: Huron O: Ontario M: Michigan E: Erie S: Superior
Acrostic Letter Sentence Mnemonics
are similar to acronyms, except students memorize a simple silly sentence instead of a word to trigger their memory. The first letter of each word in the sentence correlates with an important fact they're trying to remember. This is another great way to help students remember several pieces of interconnected information.
For instance, the sentence Never Eat Sour Watermelon can help students remember the directions on a compass: North, East, South, West. Or else, the sentence Sara's Hippo Must Eat Oranges to help students remember the names of the Great Lakes in order of size: Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario.
Although they are not a statutory requirement in the national curriculum, mnemonics are still extremely useful at many different stages in a child's learning journey.

Mnemonic devices are a brilliant tool for helping children to learn and retain information effectively. They can be used to reinforce just about any topic. Whenever you have a tricky topic to cover or lots of information for children to remember, you could always try creating your own mnemonic to make things easier. Mnemonics also happen to be a fantastic way for your learners to revise key information and equip children with the knowledge they need to feel confident working in test conditions.
A mnemonic (the 'm' is silent) is a mental tool you can use to help you remember something. Mnemonics have been around for centuries and they are helpful in a number of situations, including learning English.
For example, I can still remember the classification of living things I learned in elementary school with the mnemonic 'Kings Play Cards on Funny Green Stools', where the first letter of each word is the first letter of the names of the different categories (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species). Mnemonics can be just such acronyms, songs, rhymes, etc.
Mnemonics can be useful in language learning as well. They can be used
• to remember rules (e.g. 'Nouns name a person place or thing/Like Mary and monkey, river and ring')
• for the proper spelling of commonly misspelt words (e.g. 'Emma faced a dilemma')

• for more complicated aspects of studying English (e.g. the steps of the writing process are 'Pretty Dolls Rarely Ever Punch Criminals', or pre-write, draft, revise, edit, publish, celebrate).
The beauty of mnemonics is that you can create them yourself for whatever need you have. They are also extremely useful in that you only need to do them once to
remember the rule or new word forever.

A simple vns-ual mnemonic to learn the word 'capacious'
Whether you are a native English speaker in elementary school trying to learn new words or a second-language English speaker trying to improve your language skills, mnemonics can be very helpful. There are countless books and websites that provide fun mnemonics to help learn new words.
The mind is an endlessly creative engine and if you feed it with the right input, it will always produce great results! So whenever you find yourself trying to learn a word or rule, or memorize a list for an important test, just use some creativity create a clever way to keep it in our head forever.
