1. Introduction
“Without grammar we can convey a little, but without words we can convey nothing”. (Wilkins, 2002:25) Vocabulary teaching is an essential part of English teaching. But, English teachers sometimes have tendency to overlook the importance of vocabulary teaching and students devote much time and energy to the learning of vocabulary, while they still complain that they cannot remember the words. This is particularly evident in junior middle schools. Thus, it is important for the teacher to know the significance of vocabulary in the middle school.
Collocation is an important part of the comprehensive ability of a language. Most of the time, with the right combinations of words, appropriate and proper language expressions, people convey the main ideas and fully reflect the objective world, thus to reach the aim of successful expression. However, although some English learners have plenty of vocabulary, yet they can not appropriately express the exact meaning that they want to express. In speaking and writing, it is common that they often misuse the words. Thus, vocabulary collocation remains still one of the most intractable problems in English teaching. This paper first analyses and summarizes the main problems that exist in vocabulary collocations, finds out the root of these problems and proposes some teaching methods to reduce the misuse of collocations, thus to enhance the quality of teaching vocabulary. 词语搭配与中学英语词汇教学:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_74386.html
