vocabulary profiling

It makes the teaching process more easier for both students and the teacher if common words of English are known to both sides, if teacher finds out her students proficiency in knowing the commonly used words she would have almost no problem in teaching the reading skills, as the students would know most of the vocabulary in that text teacher can focus on the essential skills like skimming, scanning in reading

Although the words are 'common' teachers still need to present those words especially to non native students as the students wouldn't be brought up in English culture and language I can't see how non native students would acquire those words without an initial exposure

Students need to learn the words in English language in order to understand what they read and listen, to voice their thoughts when speaking to a foreign friend..I think that words are like the foundation of a language so explicit exposure to vocabulary would bring students relief and increase their motivation in learning English language because if they feel they can really understand the foreign tongue they would be more happier to continue
