This paper stresses the need for empirical research in the area of second language vocabulary teaching. Three issues for research have been discussed: vocabulary teaching strategies, teaching of word meaning, and teaching of wordform. Future research on vocabulary teaching strategies is advised to investigate strategy use and perception by language teachers as well as effectiveness of various teaching strategies. Research on teaching word meaning might test for the effect of using multiple positive examples and negative examples of a concept; the best way to teach polysemous words (i.e. words with multiple meanings), the strength of cross-association among semantically and formally-related words, and learning outcomes from quick teaching. Finally, the main issue for research on form teaching is offered to be the timing of form teaching relative to teaching of meaning

Bu makalede, yabancı dilde sözcük öğretimi alanında bilimsel araştırmalara gereksinim olduğu vurgulanmakta ve şu üç araştırma konusu tartışılmaktadır: sözcük öğretim stratejileri, sözcük anlamlarının öğretimi ve sözcük biçimlerinin öğretimi. Sözcük öğretim stratejileri konusunda yapılacak araştrmalar için, yabancı dil öğretmenlerinin öğretim stratejilerini kullanımları ve stratejilerle ilgili görüşlerinin yanısıra strateji etkinliği de araştırma konusu olarak önerilmektedir. Anlam öğretiminde ise olumlu ve olumsuz örnek kullanımının sözcüklerin anlamlarını öğrenmeye olan etkisi, çok anlamlı sözcükleri öğretme stratejileri, anlamsal ve biçimsel olarak ilişkili olan sözcüklerin öğretiminde “çaprazlama” probleminin boyutları ve “hızlı” öğretimin öğrenmeye olan etkisi gibi konuların araştırılması önerilmektedir. Son olarak, sözcük biçimlerinin öğretiminde, biçim öğretiminin anlam öğretimiyle eş zamanlı olup olmaması temel soru olarak sunulmaktadır
