Discovering Techniques of Vocabulary Teaching in Middle Schools

methods by teachers are among these factors. But, I think, the basic reason for the inefficiency lays in the traditional teaching system---teach-dominant curriculum system. To improve the effectiveness and efficiency of English teaching, we should focus on the reformation of the old teaching system. Middle school English teachers should try to convert their roles for the needs of the students. They should make the class to be learner-centered, more democratic and less teacher-dominant, stress on students’ participation in classroom, show more concern for their thinking and their needs for instruction. Only in this way can they help to improve the students’ language competence and their ability to use English freely in communication.
