Chapter Two Literature review

2.1 Definition and importance of vocabulary
To define vocabulary is a hard work as different definitions have been made from differentangles. Vocabulary is defined by Richards as "a set of lexemes, including single words,compound words and idioms" (Richards, 2002: 502) in Longman Dictionary of LanguageTeaching and Applied Linguistics, while the New Oxford Dictionary of English gives adefinition of vocabulary as "the body of words used in a particular language"(Pearsall, 2001:2068). The American Heritage Dictionary defines vocabulary in the following way: 1. All thewords of a language; 2. The sum of words used by, understood by, or at the command of aparticular person or group; 3. A list of words and often phrases, usually arranged alphabeticallyand defined or translated; a lexicon or glossary; 4. A supply of expressive means; a repertoire ofcommunication: a dancer's vocabulary of movement. From Webster's New World CollegeDictionary, vocabulary is seen as follows: 1. A list of words and, often, phrases, abbreviations,inflectional forms, etc. usually arranged in alphabetical order and defined or otherwise identified,as in a dictionary or glossary; 2. All the words of a language; 3. All the words used by aparticular person, socioeconomic group, profession, etc.

2.2 Definition and importance of presentation mode
The New Oxford Dictionary of English defines presentation as“the manner or style in which something is given, offered, or displayed” (Pearsall, 2001: 1466).In English vocabulary teaching process, vocabulary presentation refers to the procedure of usingcertain methods, aiming to introduce the target vocabulary items (words) to learners.It has been perceived that presentation is the key step in language teaching, in which newlinguistic items are introduced. Presentation stage is also called the stage of showing orintroduction because linguistic items are shown, meanings are explained, examples are given,and necessary information is covered in the presentation stage. Penny Ur (2000) suggests someways of presenting the meaning of new vocabulary items (p. 63): (1) concise definition; (2)detailed description; (3) examples (hyponyms); (4) illustration (picture, object); (5)demonstration (acting, mime); (6)context(story or sentence in which the itemoccurs);(7)synonyms;(8)opposite(s)(antonyms); (9) translation; (10) associated ideas,collocations.
