And finally I will draw a conclusion. Key Words: teaching； vocabulary； four language skills 浅析中学英语词汇教学 摘 要：在外语学习中，词汇非常重要。因为学生在开始学习英语的时候，普遍都认为英语单词非常难读，难记，难写。这样就会影响学生学习英语的兴趣。就学校英语来看，一般是词汇掌握的越多，语言的运用能力就会越强。所以，把词汇教好非常重要。如果我们把词汇教的生动，有趣,学生将会对学习英语越来越有兴趣。词汇掌握的越多，越牢固，意味着口笔语能力得到的训练也就会越多，从而就有利于学好四种语言技能。所以在本文中我着重谈以下几个方面：第一，词汇教学的意义；第二，词汇教学的策略。在第二点着重谈以下四个方面，新词呈现、单词巩固、词汇积累、课件与词汇教学。最后得出结论。 关键词： 教； 词汇； 语言技能 Contents 1.
