Abstract

Learning vocabulary seems time-consuming and pretty dull for a person who has just started his language learning experience. This article, mainly, discusses both implicit and explicit way of leaning vocabulary, stating out some effective sides of them on learners vocabulary acquisition. It is often assumed by a large number of teachers that when students do not learn new vocabulary words, they simply need to practice the words some more. Research has proved, however, that it is often the case that students simply do not understand the instructional task involved, indeed. This article takes a close look on vocabulary learning strategies as a language learner, and discovers many more useful tips for them to apply in their learning context.
