语言能力的培养是交际能力培养中至关重要的一环,而词汇则是语言能力的核心部分之一。英国语言学家威尔金斯在《语言学与语言教学》中说:“我们不能接受语法比词汇更重要的说法。事实上,没有语法几乎什么都不能传达;然而,如果没有词汇,则什么也传达不了。”可见作为语言建筑材料的词汇是非常重要的。虽然职业学校的英语教学重点是培养学生的口语交际能力,但是,由于大多数学生因为没有正确而有效地掌握英语词汇,所以,他们无论在口语表达方面,还是在阅读方面都遇到了很大困难。 The cultivation of language ability is an important part of the communicative competence cultivation, while the vocabulary is one of the core parts of the language ability. Wilkins, the British linguist, said in Linguistics and Language Teaching: “We can not accept that grammar is more important than vocabulary: in fact, grammar can hardly be conveyed at all; however, without vocabulary, Nothing can be conveyed. ”Visible as a language building materials vocabulary is very important. Although the focus of English teaching in vocational schools is to develop students’ oral communicative competence, most students encounter great difficulties in speaking or reading because they fail to grasp English vocabulary correctly and effectively .
