I． Introduction
English vocabulary teaching method is teachers in class using what methods to make it easier for students to remember words. Depending on the students’ age characteristics, teachers should use different methods to improve the student’s efficiency of English learning. It focuses on developing learner’s language ability with words and word combinations and can help teachers guide students to memorize words effectively. As the carrier of pronunciation and grammar, vocabulary is the basic material of language composition. Language cannot do without vocabulary, no words, no sentence, and no more language (Schmitt, N. 237). English vocabulary teaching throughout the whole process of language learning, teaching cannot do without vocabulary. If students have not a certain vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation cannot be carried out smoothly, which will directly affect the application and development of students’ English ability. In a sense, the size of vocabulary can indicate a level of human language. In teaching English, vocabulary learning is an important component. Because Chinese and English are very different in many aspects, it has brought a lot of difficulties for teachers and students to learn vocabulary.
In the process of teaching, teachers’ vocabulary teaching method is single, and they also neglect the cultivation of thinking ability of students. They are just simply using repeated explanations on the meaning of words, and students are repeated memories mechanically (Nation, I.S.P. 478). This long-term passive teaching mode is very difficult to make students thinking actively, so as to vocabulary teaching efficiency naturally is low. On the other hand, teachers apply the teaching content of the English vocabulary in the process of teaching mechanically, leave the English vocabulary learning from life. While the students fully master the words by rote. In the lower grades, because the content is less and used the simple words, students can still cope with it, but with the higher grades, English content becomes too deep and the size of vocabulary increase, students feel that vocabulary memory has become the biggest obstacle to learning English (Hu Chun 398). Thus, English vocabulary teaching plays a decisive role in English teaching, and it is also the key to the success of English teaching among primary school, middle school and high school. 英语词汇教学方法探讨:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_18613.html
