T.Vepreva Northern Arctic Federal University, Arkhangelsk Strategies for teaching vocabulary in ESP Vocabulary plays a very important role in a language acquisition. <...> According to Jim Rohn [Jim-Rohn quotes] “Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. <...> If you have a limited vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future”. <...> Dellar H. and Hocking D. [in Thornbury, 2007:13] add “If you spend most of your time studying grammar, your English will not improve very much. <...> You will see most improvement if you learn more words and expressions”. <...> It is rather difficult to communicate without knowing grammar, but you can hardly ever do it without words. <...> Moreover, word knowledge is a key to future success. <...> People who can express themselves exactly and with appropriate words are more likely to make a positive impression on their employers, colleagues and clients. <...> That is why vocabulary development and the skills to acquire new vocabulary are essential components of the education we provide to students of nonlinguistic specialties of Northern Arctic Federal University. <...> For a long time one of the main ways of teaching vocabulary in ESP used to be learning the lists of specialized words and reading and translating the texts. <...> Nowadays, with the appearance and a wide spread of modern technologies and the necessity to encourage autonomy, they need to be revised. <...> To know a word is not simply to know its definition. <...> It implies knowing its pronunciation, spelling, grammatical form, its core and additional meanings, associations and collocations. <...> It would be unrealistic to teach everything the first time it is presented to learners, so it should be done systematically. <...> We cannot teach all of the words that our learners need to know. <...> To be communicatively successful learners must acquire new words on their own by listening and reading authentic sources and literature. <...> We should help our students become better learners of vocabulary by teaching different techniques and word-learning strategies they can use to continue learning outside the classroom. <...> The first strategy that helps learners <...>
