Abstract

This study aims at identifying some difficulties encountered by English teachers in teaching vocabulary and finding out the solutions. The design used was qualitative descriptive using a semi-structured interview as the instrument. The study showed that common difficulties encountered in teaching vocabulary are students’ and teachers’ limited knowledge of the words, techniques, time constraint, and word selection. To overcome those difficulties, teachers may employ some techniques in teaching vocabulary such as using translation in L1, picture, real objects, gestures, guessing from the context, drilling, repetition, and using dictionary. Thus, it can be concluded that difficulties in teaching vocabulary lead English teachers to some ways they can take to overcome them. For future studies, it is suggested to employ observation to see the practice of vocabulary teaching and find out what the actual difficulties are encountered. Moreover, interview to students might be carried out to see their own difficulties in learning vocabulary.Keywords: English teaching, vocabulary, difficulties, techniques

英语教师在词汇教学中遇到的困难

本研究旨在找出英语教师在词汇教学中遇到的一些困难，并找出解决方法。使用的设计是定性描述，使用半结构化访谈作为工具。研究表明，学生和教师在词汇教学中遇到的常见困难是词汇知识有限、技巧有限、时间限制和词汇选择。为了克服这些困难，教师在词汇教学中可以采用一些技巧，如在母语中使用翻译、图片、实物、手势、根据上下文猜测、操练、重复和使用词典。因此，可以得出结论，英语教师在词汇教学中遇到的困难促使他们采取一些方法来克服这些困难。在今后的研究中，建议采用观察法观察词汇教学的实践，找出实际遇到的困难。此外，可以对学生进行访谈，了解他们在学习词汇方面的困难。关键词:英语教学，词汇，难点，技巧
