    The importance of learning vocabulary

    1.1. The key to communication

    Vocabulary is a crucial element to communicate effectively. Wilkins (1972) argued


    that without vocabulary you can not express anything . In additionally, Krashen (as
    cited in Lewis, 1993) noted that when students go on a trip, they take dictionaries with
    them instead of grammar books. Therefore, by having sufficient vocabulary, students
    can successfully express their emotion and clarify their ideas as well as understand
    clearly what others say.

    1.2. A tool to develop other skills

    No one can deny that vocabulary plays an important part in developing four basic
    skills. Nation (1994) said it is more simple to perform listening, speaking, reading,
    and writing skills with a large vocabulary. Indeed, students with a wide variety of
    different words can easily get the meaning of the texts in reading, get the idea of the
    conversations in listening and using words effectively in speaking and writing.

    2. Teaching vocabulary

    Teaching vocabulary directly affects the student’s learning English process.


    According to Thornbury (2002) , teaching vocabulary plays a vital role in studying a
    foreign language since language depends on words. Therefore, without an appropriate
    teaching way, students will have the lack of vocabulary which makes they find more
    difficult to perform English skills. In addition, recent study shows that teaching new
    words might be difficult as a lot of teachers are not sure about the most efficient way
    to put vocabulary into practice and can not see where to start to create an instructional
    emphasis on learning new words (Berne &Blachowicz, 2008). Thus, teachers have to
    deal with things such as which types of word and methods should be used for students
    to get the best result.
