The aim of teaching any foreign language is to ensure that learners are able to communicate freely in that language.The position of English as a means of international communication is strengthening year by year.Creating interest and enthusiasm for learning this language from secondary school onwards can provide strong impetus for students' future academic activities as well as for their integration into the information society.The primary goal in foreign language instruction should be the acquisition of communicative competence.H. Douglas Brown emphasizes this issue as follows: "One of the most important aspects of language learning is not merely the acquisition of its grammatical and lexical forms, but the ability to use these forms to fulfill the communicative function of language.If the mastery of vocabulary and structures does not allow the learner to convey thoughts, express ideas and feelings, or comprehend what is expressed in that language, then the knowledge of language acquired does not fulfill its communicative function".[7, p.189] Vocabulary forms the foundation of a language.It occupies a central position because meaning in communication is conveyed precisely through words.To listen and understand, to read and comprehend, and to communicate both orally and in writing in a foreign language, one must possess an adequate vocabulary stock.Vocabulary plays an essential role in the realization of both receptive skills-reading and listening-and productive skills-speaking and writing.For productive speech activities such as speaking and writing, it is necessary to possess lexical-thematic associations, to combine newly learned words with previously acquired lexical units in order to form correct sentences, to select appropriate words from synonymic and antonymic groups, and to use words in accordance with linguistic norms and the conditions of communication.In receptive activities such as listening and reading, learners must be able to associate the sound and written form of a word with its semantic meaning, to distinguish homonymy, synonymy, and antonymy, to differentiate phonetically or orthographically similar words based on meaning, and to determine meaning through context.[6] In addition to these, learners should also acquire socio-cultural knowledge in the field of vocabulary.This includes the ability to communicate based on speech forms existing in the country of the target language.Moreover, learners should know Azərbaycan Milli Elmlər Akademiyası M.
