definition

. Lewis (1993) goes further to argue, “Lexis is the core or heart of language” (p. 89). Particularly as students develop greater fluency and expression in English, it is signficant for them to acquire more productive vocabulary knowledge and to develop their own personal vocabulary- learning strategies.

definition

Vocabulary can be defined as the words of a language, including single items and phrases or chunks of several words that convey a particular meaning, the way individual words do. Vocabulary addresses single lexical items—words with specific meaning(s)—but it also includes lexical phrases and multiword expressions. (Lessard,2021)

definition

Vocabulary is a powerful carrier of meaning. Beginners often mangane to communicate in English by using the accumulative effect on individual word. A student who says "Yesterdar. Go disco. And friends" will almost certainly get much of his message over despite completely avoiding grammar. (Scrivener, 1994).

THE ROLE OF VOCABULARY IN THE CLASSROOM

• Wilkins (1972) writes that “while without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed” .

THE ROLE OF VOCABULARY IN THE CLASSROOM

• The Importance of Vocabulary is central to English language teaching because without sufficient vocabulary, students cannot understand others or express their own ideas.

THE ROLE OF VOCABULARY IN THE CLASSROOM

• Vocabulary is very important and needs to be dealt with systemmatically in its own right; it is not simply an add-on to grammar or skills lessons.

THE ROLE OF VOCABULARY IN THE CLASSROOM

• Our job does not finish as soon as the learner has first met some new vocabulary, we need to help them practice, learn, store, recall ans use the items.

THE ROLE OF VOCABULARY IN THE CLASSROOM

• Training in the use of English-English dictionaries provides learners with a vital tool for self-study.

THE ROLE OF VOCABULARY IN THE CLASSROOM

• We need to deal not only with single word lexical items, but also with longer, multi word items.

the role of a word

The concept of a word can be defined in various ways, the Oxfor Comanion of the English Language defines it as an element of speech or a combination of vocal sounds, or one such sounds used in a language to communicate an idea. ´ Words are really important because we must be aware of and focus on three significant aspects: form, meaning, and use. (Nation (2020).

Form, meaning, and use, Nation (2020) declares, have both a receptive and a productive dimension

FORM

According to Nation (2020), the form of a word involves its pronunciation (spoken form), spelling (written form), and any word parts that make up this particular item (such as prefix, root, and suffix). An example of word parts can been seen in uncommunicative, where the prefix un- means negative or opposite; communicate is the root word; and -ive is a suffix denoting that someone or something is able to do something. Here, they all go together to refer to someone or something that is not able to communicate, hence uncommunicative .

What does it mean?

• Maintain learning through repeated practice and revision.
• • There are many great game ideas to help you find creative ways to revisit learning after one day, one week and one month.

USE

Use, Nation (2020) notes, involves the grammatical functions of the word or phrase, collocations that normally go with it, and, finally, any constraints on its use, in terms of frequency, level, and so forth. .
