Abstract
Vocabulary teaching is one of the key links in the middle school English teaching. Vocabulary is the basic unit of a language, and is the building materials of a language. The function of the English vocabulary, with diversified meanings and even polysemy, should be attached great importance in foreign language teaching. As D.A. Wilkins in his book—Linguistics in Language Teaching, said, without grammar very little can be conveyed; without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed. Vocabulary teaching is an indispensable part of English curriculum. Words learning is rather important. We can not study English without vocabulary. The strategy of vocabulary teaching in junior high must be improved by our teachers. But some traditional vocabulary-teaching methods seem to isolate the words from the context or break away from the scientific rules. They ignore the proper ways to teach vocabulary. So, this article analyzes briefly the current situation of the vocabulary teaching in middle school and some mistaken ideas and doings in English vocabulary teaching. When teaching vocabulary, the teacher should try to make students connect words and concepts by means of visual-aids, translation, words background information, paraphrasing, categories, synonyms, antonyms, guessing the meanings of words from contexts and so on. Besides that, the teacher also must help his students to memorize English words by spelling, comprehension and review. All of these should be done by our teachers. We need to do the best in English vocabulary learning for the students in junior high.
Key words: vocabulary teaching; drawback; teaching techniques
1 Introduction
A famous scholar Jiang Cong (2017:98-113) said, “Without grammar, very little can be conveyed; without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed ”.
One linguist also said, a student who learns a second foreign language, he can’t convey his idea, if he masters very few words, no matter how well he learns the grammar or how nice his pronunciation is. Therefore, one’s mind and ability of communication is influenced directly by his vocabulary he has learned. As an important component in learning English, vocabulary is especially important to improve students’ English. To master a lot of words is the basic in learning English. However, in middle school, there are a lot of problems. Teachers just emphasize the spelling and the meaning in dictionary, but ignore the match, usage, inner meaning and grammatical characteristics. And the methods teachers use to teach vocabulary is not proper. Or teachers don’t have enough theory or experience. This phenomenon causes students’ lack of ability in grasping the words.
