Definition:
Vocabulary may indeed refer to the collection of words known by an individual or by a
large group of people. (1 slide)
In addition, it may also signify the body of specialized terms in a field of study or activity
(“the vocabulary of science”). It may designate a physical object, such as a book, in which a
collection of (usually alphabetized) words is defined or explained. (1 slide)
And it may name things other than words, such as “a list or collection of terms or codes
available for use,” “a set or list of nonverbal symbols” (1 slide) (such as marine alphabet flag
signals), and “a set of expressive forms used in an art” (as in “the vocabulary of dance”).
Why important in learning vocabulary English:
Since comprehension is the ultimate goal of reading, the importance of vocabulary
development cannot be overestimated. A robust vocabulary improves all areas of
communication — listening, speaking, reading and writing. (1 slide)
Vocabulary is critical to a child’s success for these reasons:
1. Vocabulary growth is directly related to school achievement
2. The size of a child’s vocabulary in kindergarten predicts the ability to learn to read
3. Vocabulary helps children to think and learn about the world
4. Expanding a child’s knowledge of words provides unlimited access to new
information (1 slide)
