"I’m not 100% convinced that memorizing the dictionary is the best way of improving your vocabulary. " says the character played by Hugh Grant in Woody Allen’s film Small Time Crooks. Yet why not? If you could memorize the dictionary—or even the 5, 000 most common words in that dictionary— wouldn’t that give you a huge advantage?【T1】
Researchers estimate that a core vocabulary of between 2, 000 and 3, 600 high-frequency words is probably enough to push learners over the intermediate plateau(停滞阶段).
So why don’t we insist on them memorizing these words, from day one, and as quickly as possible?
【T2】
As an example, a New Zealand friend of mine who studied Maori(毛利语)asked me recently what I, as a language teacher, would make of his teacher’s method
:" We just do masses of words around a theme, for example, family or food. We have to learn these words before the next lesson, then we come back and have a conversation about family or food etc, using these words. The teacher feeds in the grammar that we need to stick the words together. " He added that he thought the method worked a treat.
Nevertheless, 【T3】
for most teachers and learners the sheer spadework involved in memorizing lists of words doesn’t make for very exciting teaching.
More importantly, knowing a word involves much more than simply having memorized it. Is it readily accessible? Is it there when you need to say it? As Hotspur says(in response to Glendower’s boast that he"can call spirits from the vasty deep"), "Why, so can I, or so can any man:but will they come When you do call for them?"
【T4】
Memorization of words without frequent opportunities to access them is probably time misspent.
Yet memory is important—perhaps the most important task facing the learner. 【T5】
And therefore knowing how memory works, and how to make it work to the learner’s advantage, is a major responsibility for teachers.
So how does memory work, and what implications might these workings have on the teaching of vocabulary? [br] 【T3】
