On the Methods of Learning English Vocabulary

Language is a tool of communication and vocabulary is the building material of language. If you want to learn a language well, you must remember and master more vocabulary. In English learning, memorizing words is the most boring, especially for beginners, and you can't find its rules. Repeating the letters of a word mechanically can get twice the result with half the effort. Even if you remember, it won't last long, and you learn quickly and forget quickly. English is called "easy come, easy go". Easy to go. " So how can we expand our vocabulary effectively and quickly, and remember to write? We must observe the font with our eyes, read its sound with our mouths, recognize its sound with our ears, spell its words with our hands, think about its meaning and mumble something.

These words contain all aspects of motor memory. The so-called sports memory refers to listening, speaking, reading, writing and thinking. It is impossible for a single visual memory or auditory memory to accomplish this task. English words are composed of 26 different letters, and each word has its own sound, form and meaning. So we should study the sound, shape and meaning of each word and remember them through our eyes, mouth, ears, brain and hands. Why look at the font first? There are certain rules in the vocabulary formation of any language, including theorem rules and non-theorem rules. In English, theorem rules refer to pronunciation rules and word formation. Non-theorem method refers to an effective memory method found by learners in learning. Word formation is an important aspect of memorizing words and expanding vocabulary. By observing the shape characteristics of words, we can identify the part of speech of words, such as adding -en after adjectives to become verbs, sharp-sharp, short-short, wide-wide, and we can also observe the stem and prefix of words. Suffixes can guess the meaning of words. For example, the prefixes un, in, non and dis all mean "nothing", which means nothing, nothing and so on. Not important, not important, invisible, inactive, unnatural, unclear, unclean, incomplete, suffix -er, Table is a character, writer, construction worker, construction worker, speaker and actor. Many new words can be derived by learning stem. Such as: act, action, derived from acting, performance, action behavior, active, activity activity, actor, actress, activism, and so on. All belong to the law of theorems: word formation derived memory.

AccordINg to the pronunciation rules, memory is based on the pronunciation rules of vowels, vowel combinations, consonants and consonant combinations in open syllables and closed syllables, such as EA, EE, IR, OR, ER, UR, TinG, TURE, LY, TY and various prefixes and suffixes DIS, IM, IN, UN, ISM, IST and MENT. By mastering these rules, you don't have to remember words letter by letter.

Non-theorem laws are some memory skills summarized by learners in their own learning, which are summarized as follows:

First, inductive classification memory method,

A. Memorize words according to their phonemic classification (mainly used for quick literacy in lower grades). Learn homophone words and remember them at the same time. For example:

Dishes, dates, cakes, and making all contain [ei]. book. look. shot. good, and all contain oo hair [u].

B summarize memories by subject matter, such as: put together nouns representing seasons, months, weeks, family members, sun, moon, stars, rivers and lakes, gold, silver, iron, copper, beasts, birds, animals, insects, fish and body parts.

C, the word is translated and summarized. English-Chinese translation is not necessarily equivalent. In different situations, the same word is translated into different structures, such as driving, operating, opening the door, having a meeting, turning on the light and opening a shop, while the English translation is, driving, operating, opening the door, having a meeting, turning on the light and running a.

Shopping,

D, inductive memory of homophones, put the learned homophones together for memory. Such as: weak, week, nose, knowledge, flowers, flowers, weather,

Whether, how, weight, etc.

Second, the intuitive memory method. This method is mostly used in lower grades, and texts and wall charts often remember words by observing their actual pictures.

Third, associative memory method. Such as; After studying students, I think of teachers and classmates' textbook exams. I study soldering and I think of officers, soldiers and the army.

Fighting, war, etc.

Four. Synonym memory method, using synonyms to compare word memory, such as: clothes, clothes, clothing, hitting, hitting, hitting, etc.

Fifth, interesting mnemonics, some words can make it interesting and achieve the effect of memory. For example, if pigtail is literally translated as "pigtail", it makes people laugh and cry. Bluejeans, which can be homophonic, can be translated into blue tight pants.

Six, split memory method, a compound word is divided into two independent words to achieve the memory effect. For example, eggplant eggplant can be regarded as an "egg crop"

Pineapple Pineapple can be regarded as a "pine needle apple". And watrfal l = water+falling, rainbow = rain+bow are all recited by words.

Seven, antonym memory method, put the learned antonyms together to compare the memory, old and new, empty, length,

Eight, analyze the memory method, analyze the synthetic meaning of some compound words, in order to achieve the purpose of memory. For example, a walkingstick (can be analyzed as a walking stick).

Sleepingcar sleeper (can be analyzed as a sleeper car) and so on.

Proverb memorization method, by learning some proverbs to remember words, such as: every family has a difficult lesson, and every family has a difficult lesson. Money can

Make things easy. Money talks. A gentleman lies not in his gorgeous coat, but in his clothes. New broom

Clean it up, and the new official will be on fire.

X. Phonological literal translation, some Chinese are transliterated directly from English. For this kind of words, you can remember them according to the pronunciation of Chinese. Such as sofa, sofa. Coffee, coffee, salad. Jeep. Jeep. Tank tank Sanwich, golf, etc.

Eleven. Idiom recitation, remember some words by learning some idioms, and remember a group of words by learning an idiom, for example, spending money like running water.

Spend money like water. Safe, safe, hungry and cold, live and work in peace and contentment.

Raise the candle to the devil. With ulterior motives, drunkenness is not about wine.

Twelve. Riddle memory means memorizing words by guessing riddles, that is, developing intelligence and learning words, for example, what has many keys but can't.

Unlock a single door, (piano), what has eyes but can't see, (needle)

Thirteen, the game memory method, with four sets of 26-letter playing cards, four people play the game, according to the letter size of the words, such as: ship, four cards are put together,

Then there are five pieces in the class that can contain the boat. Finally, whoever has more words and more cards will win.

Fourteen, listening memory method. Record the words you have learned on tape, listen repeatedly, write while listening, and move your ears, brain and hands at the same time.

Fifteen. Collocation memory method. This is mainly to remember the usage of words and what words to match. Such as; If you finish something, like doing something, get used to doing something.

Get used to it, get used to it, be worth doing, be worth doing, be worth doing.

Sixteen years old. Dialect, oral memory method. Dialects and spoken English often appear in communicative English. By learning some spoken dialects, we can improve our oral ability and learn the usage of some words. So long = goodbye, for what? Why? What's the matter? Is there anything new today? Where are you going? = Where is it

Are you going?

17. Slang mnemonics. Slang is a conventional form that people say and cannot be translated literally. Learn some slang to remember some words, such as:

I have a bone in my throat and it is difficult to speak.

18. TV advertisements, news reports, drama titles, product descriptions,

When watching TV, you often see subtitles printed in English. If you seize the opportunity to learn, you will also learn many English words, such as World Report.

Music at night (melody at night). Tell the truth (tell the truth), the story of the office girl. (Miss China from a foreign company), Focus Today (Focus Today), Tide Powder, APEC, (APEC) and so on.

Nineteen, part-of-speech conversion memory method, many English words can be converted into "new meanings", that is, a word can have multiple parts of speech and multiple meanings. Book a ticket book a ticket. He parked his car at the door. He parked his car at the door. A spring saw a boy jumping on the spring.

Near Spring Last spring (last spring, a little girl saw a little boy jumping on a spring bed by a hot spring), I saw a boy sawing with a saw.

A saw, (I saw a boy use a giant in Giant). All the above sentences have multiplicity and ambiguity. Remembering the "new" meaning of a familiar word is equivalent to learning a new word.

Twenty. Song memory method, most students are willing to learn English songs, learning words in songs is efficient and easy to remember. For many years, we learn an English song every month, which not only cultivates students' sentiment, but also learns English words, killing two birds with one stone. Why not?

In short, there are many ways to remember words. Teachers instruct students to be good at digging, so as to memorize words more reasonably, scientifically and simply. No matter what method is effective for them, it is a good method. It is best to memorize the whole sentence and the whole text, which not only solves the spelling problem, but also provides the usage and memorization sentence by sentence. Finally, we have to go back to the conclusion of the formula summarized above. With so many methods, we have to "read aloud", that is, read more, speak more and even recite more, so as to consolidate the words we have learned and reduce forgetting.
