2.2.5.2 Meanings and Functions of vocabulary
Regarding meanings and functions of each vocabulary, let us now discuss
meanings and functions of each vocabulary type concerned with the four language
skills in details:
1) Meaning/Oral vocabulary refers to words language learners use
in
order
to understand what they hear in speech, and words they use when they speak. This
involves both receptive and productive vocabulary. For listening, if they lack
meaning/oral vocabulary knowledge, they would have difficulties in what they are
hearing in authentic situations or from authentic texts. That is, they probably miss the
points of what they are listening to. For speaking, Nation (1990, p. 93) suggests that
in order to speak English, it is necessary to have a large vocabulary. In developing
learners’ spoken English vocabulary, it is best to give learners practice in being able
to say a lot, using a small number of words. Pikulski and Templeton (2004, p. 3)
affirm that language learners who have large speaking vocabulary generally tend to
have large listening, reading, and writing vocabulary, and vice versa.
