Ⅰ. Introduction
As is known to all, vocabulary teaching is an essential part of foreign language teaching. Gass said that learning a second language means learning its vocabulary(97). So we come to conclusion that vocabulary plays an important role in human communication and language learning process. For a language learner, even you have mastered decent pronunciation, and perfect grammar, without the enough amount of vocabulary, you can say nothing, not to mention communicating with others. If you want to learn a foreign language, you must master enough vocabulary.
At present, vocabulary teaching has not been paid enough attention in China’s middle school. Teachers always emphasize that as a middle school student, it is necessary to master a foreign language, so the students need to practice listening, speaking, reading and writing every day. They seem to forget that vocabulary is the foundation of language learning. As Wang Rongpei said, “The biggest difficulty in a foreign language learning is how students learn and master the vocabulary”(41). To improve the ability of students in memorizing vocabulary, English vocabulary teaching is being changed day by day. Teachers gradually realized the importance of context in vocabulary teaching.
