An Exploratory Study of English Vocabulary Teaching

Since 1980s quite a number of books on English lexicology and vocabulary teaching have been published in China, but the Chinese English teachers have been divided between those who stress the importance of vocabulary teaching and those who do not. Outside China, vocabulary teaching was not emphasized before 1970s. In 1970s, D. A. Wilkins, a lexical semanticist, laid special emphasis on vocabulary teaching, which has since received increasing interest and drawn forth various views on how to do the job. The present author suggests that in teaching vocabulary four types of relationships be handled properly, i e., those between vocabulalry and grammar, pace and effect, the teacher and the student,and comprehensive reading and memorization.
