Vocabulary Profiling

I think that common used words are helpful in teaching English because by using them, communication environment can be set and student can transfer thoughts and ask about atopic when they don’t understand. It isn’t necessary to teach the common words because they can naturally learn during the teaching and learning process. I think we don’t need to learn vocabulary explicitly because it is natural process to learn vocabulary by examining content of the texts. Although it is a natural process at some points, it needs some care about learning vocabulary, but it isn’t necessary too much to study on vocabulary. Knowing vocabulary for daily conversation can be enough. However, people can prepare vocabulary lists to extend their vocabulary knowledge and also they can use dictionaries. However, according to me, vocabulary lists can be more effective.

 Vocabulary Profiling

This test can be quite hard for a non-native speaker because a non-native speaker may not use the foreign language always and also there is structure of language that is in mind of the native speaker, so this kind of  test can be quite easy for a native speaker. I was surprised because of the levels of some words. For example, while I think a word as a common one, I saw that it isn’t. I don’t as non-native speaker whether the frequency level of words vary in American or British English. Developing the sense of word frequency in terms of teaching can bring some advantages to the teacher because when a teacher has a good sense of word frequency, s/he can easily decide which word can be better to use according to the conditions in the classroom and explain the content of the lesson with proper words.
