Summary/Abstract: Vocabulary learning is central to teaching RFL. Vocabulary acquisition has always been one of the core activities in foreign language learning because no communication is possible without words. Although vocabulary has not always been recognized as a priority in language teaching, interest in its role in language learning has grown rapidly in recent years. This paper focuses on the importance of lexis in knowing RFL, the most important questions to be discussed when approching lexis teaching, the difference between active and passive vocabulary. Attention is paid to the issue of a minimum adequate vocabulary and learning burden of the word if learners need to cover the whole range of language skills.
