they maximize TTT (Teachers Talking Time) and minimize STT (Students Talking Time). Teachers neglect taking creative measures and techniques to arouse students’ attention to vocabulary study.2.1.3 Teachers neglect collocationThe words always appear together with other words, not in isolation. Language is made up of sets of words that go together to express a single meaning such as “by the way, go ahead, in the end” and so on. These are often called collocations or phrases. However, most vocabulary teaching is on identifying and teaching single words, rather than collocations or phrases. Many teachers ask students to remember some words without collocation. As a result, students only remember them without understanding the systems of the words. Their oral English sound strange and they say something like “yesterday night (last night)”. Therefore, teachers need to introduce lots of word relationships not only single words, and learners need to be taught how to notice word relationships on their own. 2.1.4 Teachers neglect selecting vocabularyMany teachers often teach any new words in the textbook without selection. This can not only confuse students who get them all mixed up, but also overload the students’ memory. In fact, students do not need to learn every word they meet. It is because not all words are equally useful. A convenient division for the levels of vocabulary is shown in the accompanying table adapted from Nation. Table 1. A Convenient Division for the Levels of VocabularyLevel Number of words Text coverage, % High-frequency wordsAcademic vocabularyTechnical vocabularyLow-frequency wordsTotal 2,0008002,000123,000128,000 87832100 “Clearly the 2,000 high-frequency words of English should receive attention first. With these, it is possible for people to use English in any normal way.” [3] 2.1.5 Teachers neglect consolidationIn vocabulary teaching, teachers seldom help students consolidate learned vocabulary, so students learn them and then forget. Learning English vocabulary needs to be highly recycled. However, most textbooks do not seem to regularly recycle important vocabulary and the practice in class is not enough. These make students lose the opportunities of consolidating vocabulary. Since the vocabulary learned before have not been consolidated in time, the students forget it easily. The teacher should work out some ways to recycle the vocabulary introduced in the course book. 2.1.6 Teacher neglect practiceIn English teaching, the teacher teaches too much knowledge of words, but neglects putting them into practice, especially in vocabulary teaching. Many teachers ask students to recite and remember the new words, but do not know how to organize students to use the new words in writing, speaking and reading. It is not easy for students to digest and absorb the words in time, so students feel it difficult to learn vocabulary. The effects can be found in the following facts:(I) Students do not believe that it is a good idea to learn a lot, read a lot, practice a lot and do not believe that he can remember and master a number of vocabularies in a short time.(II) Students lacking of skills to remember vocabulary have trouble in spelling the words(III)Students make a lot mistakes in translation and writing.2.2Problems exist in vocabulary learning2.2.1 Students forget the words easilyMany students spend a lot of time learning vocabulary, but most of them still complain that their vocabulary is not enough and they cannot avoi
