Knowing the three distinguishing characteristics of English vocabulary will help teachers to deliver vocabulary teaching.
3.2. Eleven scientific techniques to teach English vocabulary:
After careful observation of the middle school English classroom and the study of pedagogy in the aspect of English teaching, as well as with my personal experience of English learning, I would like to suggest 11 techniques of vocabulary- teaching which I consider would be valuable for both teachers and students in middle schools:
i. Using visuals:
1). Labels: For a beginning class the teacher can prepare labels for objects in the classroom; for example, in the classroom the door might have a label reading “CLASS TWO”; above the chalkboard might be a sign saying “STUDY HARD”.
2). Magazine pictures: The teacher cuts out magazine pictures that illustrate words in a dialogue or basic sentences. These are placed on the chalkboard or on a magnetic board with magnets. The teacher points to the objects and gives their foreign language equivalents: This is a restaurant.
3). Props: If the lesson is about foods, the teacher could bring to class a basket of plastic fruit.
Teacher: what is this?
Student: It’s a tomato; it’s a pear; it’s an orange.
In teaching about the house, a doll house with furniture can be used to teach the names of rooms, floors, parts of the house, and articles of furniture.
4). Classroom objects: The calendar may be used to teach “today”, “yesterday”, “tomorrow”, as well as “last week”, “next week”, “next month”, “in two weeks”, and so on.
5). Slides: Slides furnish an excellent medium for conveying the connotative cultural meaning of ordinary words in a foreign language.
For example, the word “house”, to American students, denotes an American type of house; while to Chinese students, it denotes a Chinese-style house. With the facility of slides, teacher can show students what American-style houses look like.
Slides of daily contemporary scenes of foreign countries can frequently be used in vocabulary teaching. Items of clothing might be taught first, with the help of drawings or pictures. A slide of several people going shopping provides an opportunity for the students to talk about what the people are wearing. In this way, foreign words slowly absorb the connotations they have in their own culture.

ii. Using gestures
Gestures may be used to convey the meanings of some words. Certain descriptive adjectives, such as “tall”, “thin”, “fat”, “happy”, and “dumb”, can lend themselves to gestures.
Prepositions of place can also be effectively taught by movements; for example:
Teacher: The book is on the table. The pencil is on the book. The book is under the pencil. Now the pencil is behind the book.
Action verbs can be acted out: The teacher is eating. The teacher is drinking. The teacher is reading.
Teacher: What is the teacher doing?
Students: The teacher is eating.
iii. Drawings
Drawings illustrating vocabulary may be hung around the classroom. These are especially effective if they illustrate points where learning problems tend to occur:
