Vocabulary Teaching
Sözcük Öğretimi

Summary/Abstract: This paper stresses the need for empirical research in the area of second language vocabulary teaching. Three issues for research have been discussed: vocabulary teaching strategies, teaching of word meaning, and teaching of word-form. Future research on vocabulary teaching strategies is advised to investigate strategy use and perception by language teachers as well as effectiveness of various teaching strategies. Research on teaching word meaning might test for the effect of using multiple positive examples and negative examples of a concept; the best way to teach polysemous words (i.e. words with multiple meanings), the strength of cross-association among semantically and formally-related words, and learning outcomes from quick teaching. Finally, the main issue for research on form teaching is offered to be the timing of form teaching relative to teaching of meaning
