Abstract

For language learning, vocabulary is essential and of considerable importance. It broadens the abilities of language learners to establish effective communication, foster deeper comprehension, and plays a fundamental role in language proficiency level assessment. However, learners possess difficulty managing their vocabulary as it continues to expand as their language exposure increases, especially for beginners and second language learners. This article aims to provide concepts for those who are interested in acquiring vocabulary in a second language and seeking where to begin. It suggests the number of words learners should learn, the rationale, and resources to obtain vocabulary. It discusses the general concept of vocabulary acquisition, the role of memory in learning vocabulary, and certain useful vocabulary learning strategies for learners that facilitate their vocabulary acquisition.
