Bo’riyeva D.P., Xayrulloyeva D.M.– Teachers of English language at the secondary

Vocabulary is the most important area in language learning. The importance of vocabulary 
changes and it depends on teaching aims. Nowadays, the ability of effective communication is the 
main aim of teaching, so teachers try to develop students’ communicative competence and 
vocabulary are the key to it. Communication is strongly conditioned upon the level of vocabulary.

become a reader. It is her will power that determines whether she reads widely and frequently and 
grows into a student who enjoys and benefits from literacy. So we think you should care about 
motivation because it is the other half of reading. Sadly, it is the neglected half.
