National Institute for Literacy
(2002) states that knowledge
of word meanings is the most
important single factor in
reading or listening
comprehension
Lewis (1993) as quoted by Moras (2001)
argue that vocabulary should be at the
center of language teaching, because
‘language consists of grammaticalized
lexis, not lexicalized grammar’.

Development of
Educational Attainment,
commonly called as IDEA
(2002-2004) presented
this diagram as a guide for
vocabulary enhancement
and teaching.
IDEA identifies two ways of presenting a
vocabulary items to learners.

her child is unfailing.
