8、owadays, English has a most vocabularies in the world, so this kind of language is very complex. With the development of society and technology, the number of English vocabulary is gradually expanding. At present, vocabulary teaching is one of the problems which can not be solved easily in English t
9、eaching. This paper obeys the principles of English vocabulary teaching to have a discussion about it. No matter what is the purpose, we must first of all have a certain amount of vocabulary. This is the prerequisite for expression. Wilkins, a famous British linguist, once said that without grammar,
10、 very little can be conveyed；without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed. It is said that the Oxford English Dictionary has about 400,000 words. Of course no one knows or needs to use so many words. Only a small part of them are used by ordinary people for ordinary purposes. Students should learn to
11、 use the words that are most useful and most often used to express themselves.However, the teaching of vocabulary in many schools is not very desirable. Students are required to master as many words as possible, but many of them have great difficulty in remembering and using words. Vocabulary must b

If the teacher only focuses on teaching the meaning of words alone rather than the ways and strategies of learning vocabulary, how can students enlarge their vocabulary and use the word
13、s they have learned？Obviously, without the training of strategies for building up words students will have to spend a great deal of time in memorizing words, and in the end make very little progress in developing other language skills. In this sense, vocabulary teaching plays a critical role in Engl

15、nced LearnerEnglishChinese Dictionary, “vocabulary”is defined like this：a. all the words that a person knows or uses b. all the words in a particular language c. the words that people use when they are talking about a particular subject.“Vocabulary can be defined, roughly as the words to teach in th
16、e foreign language. However, a new item of vocabulary may be more than a single word：for example,post officeandmotherinlaw, which are made up of two or three words but express a single idea. There are also multiword idioms such ascall it a day, where the meaning of the phrase cannot be deduced from an analysis of the component words. A useful convention is to
