摘要

IntroductionTeaching vocabulary,is one of the most important tasks in teaching English.With successful teaching ofvocabulary,students will find English classes interesting and words easy to memorise.If English classesare dull,students will not be interested in trying to learn new words.Sometime students find itimpossible to distinguish the difference between so many similar words.In my experience,one of themost effective ways to solve the problems is to make appropriate use of a very simple teaching aid-coloured chalk.Coloured chalk can produce‘sharp contrasts’on the blackboard.‘Sharp contrasts’willhelp students to discover associations between words,word formations,and minor differences in thespelling of some commonly confused words.With coloured chalk,teachers do not have to ask studentsagain and again to pay attention,the‘sharp contrasts’will highlight the key features.Teachingvocabulary with appropriate use of coloured chalk will produce twice the result with half the effort.
