The English language is now widely used in Vietnam.
Consequently, the teaching and learning of English
has become more significant , but, on the other
hand, teaching methodologies, in Vietnam , still
reflect those used in the past to teach other
foreign languages. Vietnamese English teachers also
experience difficulty coping with the many new
problems which they now face. One of these
difficulties is the teaching of English vocabulary.
In order to develop an understanding of how best
English vocabulary might be taught in the
Vietnamese setting , this study identifies a
particular group of students: Vietnamese tertiary
students attending the Hanoi Foreign Languages
Teachers' College, and then explores ways how
teachers might introduce the teaching of English
vocabulary, both to these students, and to the
subjects the students will finally teach
themselves.
In order to prepare for an outline of how to carry
out this teaching role, the study investigates the
various problems associated with defining : the
word; the types of meaning conveyed by the word;
the relationship of phonology, syntax and semantics
to the word, and other related matters . The study
also looks at the problems which Vietnamese
students have with learning English vocabulary. In
this context a comparison is made of English and
Vietnamese lexical and related systems.
Subsequently, the study considers the different
types of foreign language methods which have and
are being used, with particular reference to how
they were used to teach vocabulary.
Finally, the study considers questions of the need
to select appropriate vocabulary for the targetted
students and details how teachers might effectively
teach vocabulary.
