Abstract
Vocabulary is an essential item in language teaching and learning, although
sometimes it is neglected. In order to produce an effective vocabulary teaching and
learning, instructors and learners must understand the background of vocabulary
including breath, depth and word knowledge. Some effective strategies are introduced to
make vocabulary learning more attractive and interesting for learners. Inevitably,
vocabulary teaching and learning is not only a method and instrument, but also
interpreted as social practice from Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) perspective, which
involves the discourse of social control, trust and meaning making. These three
discourses should be taken into consideration as they may influence the vocabulary
teaching and learning outcome.
