Abstract

Grammar and vocabulary are crucial components of language teaching, as vocabulary is a fundamental aspect of language proficiency and provides a large number of the foundations for how well language learners speak, listen, read, and write. Furthermore, grammar is also a vital aspect of language teaching, and learners' language development will be severely limited if they lack an adequate understanding of grammar. Hence, students cannot ignore the significance of acquiring vocabulary and grammar. The teacher plays a key role in teaching procedures, and it is significant for students that the teacher chooses and utilises appropriate approaches in teaching activities. In this study, I will illustrate some teaching approaches for teaching grammar and vocabulary, describe how to combine teaching approaches with activities from my teaching experience, and then mention some essential knowledge I have acquired by referencing relevant literature. I will read a large number of books, e-books, and journals in order to effectively analyse this paper. In summary, when teaching grammar, the task-based approach can be used for controlled activities, and utilising pairwork grammar activities in classes can also increase the fun and reduce peer pressure. Furthermore, younger students can be taught simple vocabulary through playing games. On the other hand, teachers can teach advanced students how to guess the meaning of unknown words based on their context and how to use dictionaries.
