Teaching vocabulary for the intermediate level pupils

Abstract: This article shows that there are more words to be learned than can be directly taught in even the most ambitious program of vocabulary instruction. Word-learning strategies include dictionary use, morphemic analysis, and contextual analysis. For ELL Whose language chares cognates with English, cognate awareness is also an imortant strategy. Dictionary use teaches students about multiple word meanings, as well as the importance of choosing the appropriate definition to fit the particular context.
