Teaching Vocabulary By Michael Lessard-Clouston Vocabulary
Vocabulary is central to English language teaching because without sufficient vocabulary students cannot understand others or express their own ideas through their writing or speaking. Without grammar very little can be conveyed, but without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed. Sometimes students learning English as a foreign language (EFL) are weaker at recognizing particular constraints on vocabulary usage. However, teachers must be aware of their students’ strengths and weaknesses in English vocabulary, then they have a place to start to expand students’ knowledge and strengthen weaker areas English vocabulary is complex, with three main aspects related to form, meaning, and use, as well as layers of meaning connected to the roots of individual words (Nation & Meara, 2010). Teaching vocabulary is not just about words; it involves lexical phrases and knowledge of English vocabulary and how to go about learning and teaching it.
