How to Help Students Acquire Vocabulary
I am an English teacher in a grammar school. My students are 15 to 9 years old and the majority of them come to our school after four years of learning English. Their knowledge is quite good, they are able to lead a simple conversation using appropriate functions, grammar and vocabulary. Since they feel their previous knowledge of vocabulary is enough to express their thoughts, they are unwilling to put a lot of effort in expanding their vocabulary. They also have a feeling that their knowledge is bigger because they have a richer passive vocabulary but when it comes to use the words in the active area of the language they find out that they cannot cope with it.
