Grammar provides the overall patterns, and vocabulary is the material to put in the patterns. Without grammar we can convey a little, but without vocabulary we can convey nothing. many students devote large amounts of time and energy to the learning of vocabulary, but they still complain that their vocabulary size is not large enough or they cannot avoid forgetting. It is very important to make students aware not all words are equally important and that effective way of vocabulary learning help to reduce forget. Vocabulary teaching is an indispensable part of English curriculum. However, English teachers sometimes have tendency to overlook the importance of vocabulary teaching. The word is one of the three basic language units (sound, word , grammar). It is essential to communication. One of the famous linguists Wilkins once said that, “Without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed.” The teacher using the menial method in traditional teaching of teaching vocabulary, it is bad for the students to learn the vocabulary to keep the students involving at most. It is necessary to adopt various teaching techniques in class.There are several ways that I concluded according to our unit 4 below. 1.gap-fill exercises 2.word searches 3.crosswords 4.matching exercises 5.example sentences 6.pronunciation exercises such as drilling 7.study from texts and dialogues 8.some typical and interesting games. The teacher also should situate student’s desire for knowledge. The strong desire for knowledge can bring students interests of study, but it must be simulated by new knowledge and information. The teacher should help student fully recognize their potentialities of studying language and vocabulary and set up their confidence of study. The students who are not interested in the learning of vocabulary frequently suspect their memories. They think that they are not good at reciting and remembering words and phrases and even think that they aren’t fit for studying language. They are short of confidence so that they have strong low self-esteem. The teacher should encourage students to study vocabulary hard, point out their progresses and commend their achievement in studying to help students recognize their potentialities and set up their confidence. If the students make progress and are satisfied with their study and be more interested in studying vocabulary, they can gain more knowledge, get enlightenment and inspiration, learn one kind of technical ability in their study and the same time they can also get the sense of satisfied faction in their achievement of their study. English vocabulary develops continuously like any other modern languages with the development of society and science. So it is important for the students to enlarge their vocabulary. Above many factors contribute to the inefficiency in English teaching. Inappropriate teaching methods by teachers are among these factors. But I think the basic reason for the inefficiency lays in the traditional teaching system — teach-dominant curriculum system. So, in order to improve the efficiency of English teaching, the teacher should focus on the reformation of the old teaching system. English teachers in middle school should try to convert their roles for the needs of the students. They should make the class to be learner—centered, more democratic and less teacher—dominated, and stress on student’s participation in classroom. They also should show more concern for their thinking and their needs for instruction. Only in this way can the teacher help to improve the students’ language competence and their ability to use English freely in communication.
