Abstract

The good grasp of vocabulary was beneficial to the improvement of learning of English in all aspects. This paper collected, analyzed and categorized the vocabulary usages in 30 English compositions for test of CET-4 randomly chosen from the Corpus of CLEC. The research found that spelling mistakes and overgeneralization of word’s meaning were the main problems concerning with vocabulary which restricted students to score high and to develop specialized and academic English. This phenomenon was caused by three reasons, the unsystematic way in acquiring vocabulary, the little quantity and frequency in exposure to English and the lack of standardization on grammar. Based on these results, this paper provided with several suggestions for the teaching of vocabulary such as to urge students to learn vocabulary in a systematic way, to enforce the quantity of reading and to pay attention to the basic language knowledge in order to steady the memory, system and automatic operational capability of vocabulary.
