Problems and Countermeasures of English Vocabulary Teaching

in Junior Middle School

I. Introduction

   Vocabulary teaching is an important part of junior middle school English teaching. The new curriculum standard has a higher request on vocabulary with the students’ vocabulary in junior middle school increasing from the original 800 words to 1500-1600 words together with 200-300 idioms or fixed collocation, and "learning to use" being emphasized. It also puts forward higher requirements on vocabulary teaching. But in the actual vocabulary teaching, there are a lot of problems, and teaching situation is not optimistic. Current examination system in which the final grade is emphasized causes vocabulary teaching not to be important, thus results in that students and teachers do not to pay enough attention to vocabulary teaching and learning, which is very bad for middle school students to improve their English. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the recognition of the importance of middle school English vocabulary, and to strengthen the middle school English vocabulary teaching.
