TEACHING THE VOCABULARY
Keywords:
vocabulary, teaching, learningAbstract
In this paper we examine the difference between explicit and implicit learning of vocabulary; we consider which strategies should be used in the process of teaching it; and we stress that knowing a word is more than just knowing its meaning: a student should also know how to use it, how it was formed, and how it behaves grammatically. We also discuss the importance of implicit (incidental) vocabulary learning which ocurrs when the mind is focused elsewhere, for instance on an understanding of a text, or on immediate communication. For both the explicit and the implicit learning, the teacher should provide enough materials and opportunities for the students to remember and use the vocabulary competently.
