How Do Vocabularies Affect Reading Comprehension

Abstract

Vocabulary plays an important role in the EFL classroom. The aim of this study is to ease learning vocabulary for students. Many English learners do not know how to memorize a vocabulary and how to consider it in writing. There are some strategies to aware and develop knowledge of participants. The awareness strategies can facilitate learners to store and retrieve their prior knowledge. The more one’s have knowledge about vocabulary, more successful in their relations. Vocabulary instructions are like glue, they can link a long story. A vocabulary limitation indicates that a person does not have enough knowledge. Reading vocabularies can affect reading comprehension. There is a big relationship between knowledge of vocabulary and literacy

First, when we are using strategies for teaching vocabulary there are two key points that must remember:

The students have to use new words. They must understand new word 's meaning, and then they must practice using it. Each word has several features. One of the most important is the word 's meaning. The second one is pictures, word 's usage, pronunciation, and spelling. For each of those aspects we can use different strategies. Of course, only reading of the word is not enough. We need to know how to pronounce it properly. Teachers should teach the correct pronunciation of the word.

Nevertheless, the issue remains. Why words pronounce in that way?

Short texts are good ideals for classroom activity, they are subject of understanding grammatical, and lexical study and without disturbing learners ' attention or memory, the case is good with longer texts. These activities designed for the students to make use of this characteristic of texts that include task of identifying lexical chains. Different kinds of texts whether short or long (or genres) illustrate different lexical features. Lewis went further to argue, “Lexis is the core or heart of language (Lewis, 1993 p.

If the synonym known better than the word being taught, the act of memorizing will be easier. Synonyms help to enrich a student 's vocabulary bank and they can instantly provide alternative words in their mind.

Pictures and Drawings

Pictures and colors of many types of vocabularies can use successfully to show the meaning of words and sentence. There is no need to be very artistic handmade pictures can also be used. Drawings can explain the meaning of things, actions, qualities, and relations. A line drawing of one shape for example head provides many useful nouns and verbs.

Realia

Real objects or models of real objects are very effective and meaningful in showing meanings but in handling of real objects, a teacher must be practical because some words illustrate huge amount of mass.

Parts of Words

The parts of complex and compound words may be more common than the words themselves. Separating such words into their component parts generally elaborates the meaning.

Illustrative Sentences

Most words have a variety of limitations on their use. Systematic descriptions of these limitations and idiomatic uses would be very hard and not very effective in teaching. It is better to give appropriate examples that clarify the range and variation of
