通过对近年来中等职业教育考试英语试卷的分析研究发现,词汇量的大小严重制约着学生的听力和阅读理解能力。中职学生学习英语词汇的积极性不高、无兴趣又是造成词汇量贫乏的根本原因。在常规英语教学中如何激发和培养学生学习词汇的兴趣成为中职学校英语教师需要重视和亟待解决的一个大问题。 Through the analysis and research of the English occupation examination papers in recent years, it is found that the size of the vocabulary severely restricts the students’ ability of listening and reading comprehension. The enthusiasm of vocational students to learn English vocabulary is not high, and the lack of interest is the root cause of the lack of vocabulary. How to stimulate and cultivate students’ interest in learning vocabulary in regular English teaching has become a big problem that English teachers in vocational schools need to pay attention to and urgently need to solve.
