Research On English Vocabulary Teaching In The High Schools Of Mudanjiang

The vocabulary teaching is an important part of the English teaching at senior high school. How students get along with the vocabulary has a direct influence on the ability to use English. Focusing on the vocabulary teaching at senior high school is reasonable and feasible, and it has great significance and function on the improvement of students’ grades and abilities. New English Curriculum Standard has made a new claim for the vocabulary teaching at senior high school, focusing on the students, and requiring that the vocabulary teaching should be based on the practical usage of the vocabulary. However, there are many shortcomings in the daily teaching among some areas and teachers. So, pointing at my 3 years’teaching experiences and practical situation and problems, I have studied lexicology, semantics, education and educational psychology. In this paper, I will state relative concepts on the vocabulary teaching at senior high at first, then analyze and sum up the situation and problems of the vocabulary teaching at senior high in Mudanjiang’s high schools in the way of questionnaire survey and interview. Finally, I will put forward some measures.This paper consists of six chapters. They are introduction, literature review, research design, data and analysis, research findings and measures as well as conclusion. Introduction, the first chapter, shows the background, aim and significance of the research and the structure of the paper. Literature review, the second chapter, mainly expounds some relative theories about the vocabulary teaching at senior high, including related concepts, basic theories, principles, goals, content and methods of the vocabulary teaching.
