THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

DEFINITION OF VOCABULARY
Red John (2000:16) The knowledge involves knowing the
meanings of words and therefore the purpose of
vocabulary test in to find out whether the learners can
match each word with a synonym, a dictionary tape
definition, or an equivalent word in their own language.

KINDS OF VOCABULARY
Dutro & Moran (2003) (Zwiers, 22) refer to brick and mortar
terms as a way to distinguish between content-specific vocabulary and
general cross-curricular academic language.
Brick words are the vocabulary specific to the content and concepts
taught in a specific discipline. Brick words tend to be found in
glossaries and in bold face print in the content area text books.
Mortar words and phrases are the general utility vocabulary required
for constructing sentences and paragraphs to engage in discussions
using academic English. Mortar words and phrases help to connect
language together and are essential to its comprehension.

THE PRINCIPLES OF VOCABULARY

students in learning language since it was a language skill which
reflected other language skills, like speaking, writing, listening, and
structure.

difficulty understanding the remainder of word.

vocabulary acquisition still picture or dynamic video. Results showed

that a video clip was more effective in teaching vocabulay than words in
still pictures. Among the suggested factors that explained such a result
were that video better built a mental image, better created curiosity
leading to increased concentration, and embodied an advantageous
combination of modalities.
