Nowadays, English plays an important role in many fields. In addition, the more developing society is, the more necessary English is. Because English can help people master a language, they will own a great knowledge. In order to carry out this, we have to learn vocabulary at first. We imagine that without vocabulary, no language exists. So vocabulary is a vital part in learning English. How to help people in general and pupils at Primary School in particular learn and use vocabulary effectively is a difficult question.

At present, I am a teacher of Be Van Dan Primary School. I am teaching pupils of grade 4. I assume the responsibility for 4A, 4B, 4C, 4E. Each class has different perception so I have to select the way of teaching vocabulary differently. For weak pupils, I often translate new words directly. In contrast, I usually let good pupils guess the meanings of words. So it is essential to find out the most suitable way of teaching vocabulary in order to take advantage of pupils’ learning spirit.

To upgrade my teaching skills, I have chosen the subject “How to teach vocabulary to children at Primary School effectively”. There are many studies relating to teaching and learning vocabulary in general. However, my study is more specific. It is my hope that the study will be more or less useful for those who are concerned.
