Teaching Vocabulary to Fifth Year pupils in Libyan Primary Schools

Abstract

The paper has evaluated a sample of material which focuses on the teaching of vocabulary in Libyan Primary Schools. The major objective was to examine the underlying organising principles, teaching approaches and the learning processes, and to discover any shortcomings that might hinder the achievement of the intended outcomes. To fulfill this aim, as much information as possible was collected from various resources such as books, theses, study papers, journals and the World Wide Web. The discussion of the topic has covered three main points. They are a review of the relevant literature, analysis and evaluation of the material in question and, finally, suggestions of how this material might be improved. Because it was difficult to assess the material in isolation, reference to other involved factors such as the teacher, the student and the teaching/learning environment was occasionally made.
