The results of vocabulary teaching 4

For teachers, the first place is to improve their professional level. The study of students’ English vocabulary is inseparable with the teachers. Paraphrase method is used to carry out vocabulary teaching, which puts forward higher requirements for teachers’ English professional level. They not only need to know how to use English to explain new words, but also to choose simpler and more frequent ones according to the students’ level. This requires teachers to spend more time preparing for lessons before class, and also to improve their professional level

The second place is to provide students with necessary learning materials. In the early stage of vocabulary teaching, most students find it difficult to follow the teacher completely and they cannot keep up with the teacher’s rhythm. Therefore, in the process of vocabulary teaching, the teacher should extract the key words of this class and match them with corresponding English explanations and examples for students to learn.

The third place is to strengthen classroom reinforcement. During classroom vocabulary teaching, some correlation with English paraphrase questions built by teachers inspire students to answer so that the students have a better understanding of vocabulary learning. Teachers should not only pay attention to the strengthening of the classroom, but also decorate some exercises after class to allow the students to finish and encourage them to complete the problem sets, by means of checking English-English dictionary so as to cultivate students’ habit of thinking in English。

The fourth place is that vocabulary teaching is not required to master all words by means of paraphrase. But for some particularly complicated words, especially proper nouns, the meanings of these words are often complex, and there is no need to have a particularly deep understanding of them. Using this approach to vocabulary teaching is to focus on something that for prescribed by the teaching outline.

From the perspectives of students, the first aspect is to use a dictionary properly. Many students often find it difficult to grasp the usage of words accurately while the dictionary is a good teacher of human beings. It accurately provides the pronunciation, meaning, collocation and examples of each word. If students are good at applying dictionaries in vocabulary learning, they can master the usage of words accurately. In actual process of learning, it is necessary to recall whether or not to learn the synonym or antonym of the word, or guess the meaning according to the context.
