Le Huong Hoa

Abstract


When one thinks of vocabulary, they tend to think of the meaning of the word. However, word knowledge involves spelling, pronunciation, morphology, syntax, and depth of meaning (Carlo, et al., 2008). Authors use qualitative analysis as a combination of different methods as follow: description, synthesis and analysis.

Hence, In order to improve English vocabulary for students, teachers need to improve several educational methods, one of them is Collocation as one effective method for foreign language learning We can recognize that student can improve English collocations with verb ‘make’, for instance.

Other educational methods include: Li Li and Ting (2019) mentioned After using the vocabulary journals for a few weeks, all the pupils found that they were able to learn new vocabulary better. This was evidenced by the improvement in their test scores and fairly consistent use of the words in accurate contexts. However, the effect of the vocabulary journals does not appear to be uniformly good for all pupils. In addition, the pupils also became

more enthusiastic about the learning vocabulary compared to before the action when they participated more in the lessons. To conclude, vocabulary journals could help the pupils to learn vocabulary better and increase their participation in learning vocabulary.
