13、some basic concepts of vocabulary and vocabulary learning, the second part tells what does it mean to know a word, the third part deals with the theory of vocabulary acquisition and presents the factors and differences influencing the vocabulary acquisition. The fourth part is detailed discussion of
14、 vocabulary acquisition strategies in different levels of learners. The last part is conclusion.Literature review 1. The importance of vocabularyAs the first time, when we go to school and our English teacher will tell us that vocabulary is of great importance in learning English. After several year
15、s, we understand words gradually, especially when we study in high school. If we know a little about vocabulary, we may have poor English. That is because the listening, speaking, reading and writing show the necessary of learning vocabulary.Many researchers agree that lexis is at least as important
16、 as structure, because it is using wrong words and not wrong grammar that usually breaks down communication. Mistakes in lexis much more often lead to misunderstanding and may be less generously tolerated outside classroom than mistakes in syntax. (Carter, 1987). As Stephen Krashen remarked, “When s
17、tudents travel, they dont carry grammar books, they carry dictionaries.A significant role of vocabulary in both teaching and learning processes was first stated by Stephen Krashen in The Natural Approach (1985):“Vocabulary is basic for communication. If acquirers do not recognize the meaning of the
18、key words used by those who address them they will be unable to participate in the conversation.”Words are basic tools in human communication; therefore they determine the main part of peoples life-relationships between people and associations with the surrounding world that people live in. The larg
19、er ones vocabulary, the easier it is to express ones thoughts and feelings.In real communication, correctly and idiomatically used vocabulary can even decrease some structural inaccuracy and grammar errors. (Zhang Jiying, 2002). So learners should enrich and expand their knowledge of words as much a
20、s possible in order to communicate effectively in a foreign language.2. What does it mean to “know” a word?Knowing a word is not a simple phenomenon. In fact, it is quite complex and goes far beyond the words meaning and pronunciation. (Zhang Jiying, 2002). Richards (1976) think knowing a word means
21、 also knowing the frequency of words and their likely collocates; being aware of the functional and situation limitations that apply; knowledge of the “syntactic behavior”; derivational forms and word class; associative and connotative knowledge; semantic value-breaking down words into minimal units
22、 as with componential analysis (see Katz&Fodor1963or Leech1974); knowing the other (possible) meaning associated. Nagy and Scott (2000) identify several dimensions that describe the complexity of what it means to know a word. First, word knowledge is incremental, which means that readers need to hav
23、e many exposures to a word in different contexts before they “know” it. Second, word knowledge is multidimensional. This is because many words have multiple meanings and serve different functions in different function in different sentences, texts, and even conversations. Third, word knowledge is in
24、terrelated in that knowledge of one word connects knowledge of other words.What all of this means is that “knowing” a word is a matter of degree rather than an all-or-nothing proposition (Beck&Mckeown, 1991; Nagy&Scott, 2000). The degree of knowing a word are reflected in the precision with which we
