Abstract：In the process of foreign language learning, it is generally acknowledged that vocabulary becomes one of the most important and basic aspect for students to grasp. The overall language ability of students may be directly influenced by the vocabulary size of the students. If one student does not reserve a certain amount of vocabulary, he/she cannot use the language in actual situation. Therefore, lexical teaching is a very important part in English teaching. In the current senior high school teaching practice, although many teachers pay much attention to lexical teaching, some even put a lot of time on it, the actual effect is often not as good as expected that students can master and use words correctly and appropriately. The current situation of senior high school English lexical teaching is not optimistic. This paper first analyzes the current situation of English lexical teaching in senior high schools. And then it gives a brief account of the previous studies on lexical teaching abroad and in China. Based on the previous studies, the author puts forward several lexical teaching methods in the hope that these methods can help the students improve their English learning efficiency.
