Abstract

This paper focuses on the applications of semantic theories in English lexical teaching. With the introduction of some failures in lexical teaching and bad results students get, the importance of good lexical teaching methods is obvious. Thanks to the unique characteristics of four semantic theories, the paper proposes four lexical teaching methods. For illustration of how these methods work, some examples are analyzed.
