Well, ideally, perhaps... but I think that it's somewhat hard to do. Perhaps more so when teaching in French (or any other language apart from English), because then you have to deal both with the synonyms in French and the synonyms in English at the same time.
At least in English, which is all I've taught in, it's merely a practical matter of using one consistent term instead of using many interchangeably.
