英国著名语言学家威尔金斯曾说过:“没有语法,人们表达的事物寥寥无几,而没有词汇,人们则将无法表达任何事物。”由此可见英语词汇教学的重要性。然而由于种种原因,词汇教学一度被我们忽视。近些年来,许多学者和教师将实际教学与理论研究相结合,使得词汇教学越来越受到重视,成为英语教学中的重要组成部分。然而大学非英语专业的词汇教学状况并不十分理想,还存在一些问题。本文针对大学非英语专业词汇教学的不足,提出了一系列经过实证的策略,以期提高大学非英语专业的词汇教学效果。 Well-known British linguist Wilkins once said: “There is no grammar, people express very few things, without the vocabulary, people will not be able to express anything. ” This shows the importance of English vocabulary teaching. However, due to various reasons, vocabulary teaching was once ignored by us. In recent years, many scholars and teachers combine practical teaching and theoretical research, making vocabulary teaching more and more important and becoming an important part of English teaching. However, the non-English majors’ vocabulary teaching in universities is not very satisfactory, and some problems still exist. In this paper, a series of empirical methods are put forward in order to improve the teaching effectiveness of vocabulary teaching for non-English majors in universities.
