    Taking into consideration the important role that vocabulary plays in the process of learning English as a foreign language, this quasi-experimental study was aimed to increase 7th graders students' vocabulary by means of effective lexical activities, considering not only their interests, but also their learning styles. This research consisted of nine interventions that lasted seven weeks (from September 26th to November 6th), tour of which were class interventions meant to teach vocabulary. These interventions, designed as micro-classes (including the Presentation, Practice, and Production stages), hadas a purpose to teach 12 words per class, enhancing the use of effective material for a contextualized and meaningful learning. Additionally, of greater importance was the use of different instruments designed for this process, such as questionnaires, tests, and rubrics since the quantitative and qualitative data collected enriched the process of planning lexical activities considering the results obtained in each of them. Consequently, those results contributed significantly to the study, providing valuable information that could be analyzed leading to further conclusions.
