Lexical Approach – Vocabulary Teaching Techniques for ESL Learners Through Proper Lesson Shapes

Abstract

To date, lexis acquisition has been largely dependent upon the practice of other language skills. However, this has been shown to be insufficient in achieving an appropriate vocabulary expansion. Teaching vocabulary is one of the main issues if we focus on Learner’s fluency and wish to hear native-like and free utterances from the students. Proper vocabulary along with functional language enables them to be on the same level with the native speakers, to be understood properly and to perform extended utterances. Vocabulary must be acquired better through direct study and large amount of quality input. Bearing in mind latest second language theories, we may suggest how we should offer learners new target vocabulary, or more precisely through what techniques we are providing for better understanding and acquisition. Here, in our further paper we would like to introduce and classify all probable methods of better understanding of new vocabulary and provide strategies for its enhancement. The proposed teaching methodology will enable students to be involved in teaching process as in something interesting, challenging and informative, and on the other hand, we teachers will reach the goal – it will enhance our learners’ vocabulary, and also will make teaching process enjoyable and stimulating.
