In the process of learning a foreign language, vocabulary can be considered
as the most important part because it is a means of expressing ideas and at the
same time it is a bridge to develop micro-language skills of listening, speaking,
reading and writing skills. However, the teaching of vocabulary has not
really been given much attention in the teaching process. With the traditional
method of teaching vocabulary, it is the Grammar-translation method, which is
commonly used in foreign language classes today. This paper uses the method
of analysis, summarizing experience to form the theoretical basis. The practical
investigation method using closed-ended questions with 5 levels of Likert is
applied to find out the current situation of vocabulary learning of non-English
major students. Based on the current situation, the study proposes measures
to improve the effective vocabulary learning for learners. The results of the
study contribute to teachers more useful reference information on how to teach
vocabulary to non-English major students. Students possibly understand the
necessary information for learning and developing their vocabulary through
the finding of this study..
