Before teaching vocabulary, we need to take into
consideration usefulness of the words we want to teach
our students. There are a lot of dictionaries that contain
words which are frequently used in writing and
speaking. ( f.i Oxford 3000).
We also need to teach items which are important for
students’ present situation or culture, items that are easy
to learn or that are interesting themselves.
