should not only teach but also make learners aware of the nature of vocabulary and new words go together. The aim of every exercise should always be to make the learner more and more independent as a word learner, not more and more dependent on the teacher’s or dictionary’ knowledge.” [17]5.2 Vocabulary building strategies and ways of deepening knowledge of words5.2.1 Read graded readersAsk students to read graded readers outside class and to listen to long simplified recordings. In this way students will be increase a lot of vocabulary, they can find new collocations, they also improve their reading fluency in an enjoyable way.5.2.2 Guessing from contextBy far the most important vocabulary strategy to teach is to ‘guess unknown words from context’. When students learned their first language, most of the words were not taught to them, they picked them up from books, the TV and from conversations. There is not enough time to teach thousands of words one by one in class, so language learners must also know how to guess unknown words successfully. The first thing to do when a learner meets a new word is to ignore it. If it is important it will come again. If they meet the word a second time and communication breaks down, then they should try to guess its meaning. Initially, it is important to make them notice its part of speech, and then they should look for clues around the word to help with the meaning. If they have an idea, they should try to substitute their guess into the sentence to see if the meaning of the sentence is clear. They will soon realize if they have the wrong part of speech, or wrong meaning. Finally, they can use word affix knowledge to confirm the guess. [18]5.2.3 Dictionary workIn order to teach students how to learn vocabulary effectively. Let students use their dictionaries well and this will save them a lot of time and will ultimately make them independent of teachers and textbooks. The following examples “emphasize the meaning of an unfamiliar word”: (1)Synonym in apposition Our uncle was a nomad, an incurable wanderer who never stays in one place.(2)Antonym When aunt loved Tom deeply, she absolutely despised his twin brother Smarty.(3)Cause and effectBy surrounding the protesters with armed policemen, and by arresting the leaders of the movement, the rebellion was effectively quashed.(4)Association between an object and its purpose or use The scientist removed the treatise from the shelf and began to read.(5)DescriptionTom received a new roadster for his birthday. It is a sports model, red with white interior and bucket seats, capable of reaching speeds of more than 150 mph. [195.2.4 CollocationVocabulary exercises should focus on deepening and internalizing knowledge of words, but not only focus at the surface ‘form-mean’ level and should deal with collocations and multiple-word units, not only single words. The type of practice in these activities allow the students notice new words, or new features of words they already know, as well as giving them chances to internalize them. For example, simple games and matching exercises manipulate only meaning and/or form, and thus call for relatively shallow mental processing. The focus should also on deepening and internalizing the knowledge by doing activities at a deeper level. Thus, when doing exercise the quality of the mental processing is more important than simple quantity. 5.2.5 Organize vocabulary effectivelyThere is evidence that if information is stor
