Answer:

Vocabulary refers to the words we must understand to communicate effectively. Educators often consider four types of vocabulary: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Listening vocabulary refers to the words we need to know to understand what we hear. Speaking vocabulary consists of the words we use when we speak. Reading vocabulary refers to the words we need to know to understand what we read. Writing vocabulary consists of the words we use in writing.

Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in the reading process, and contributes greatly to a reader's comprehension. A reader cannot understand a text without knowing what most of the words mean. Students learn the meanings of most words indirectly, through everyday experiences with oral and written language. Other words are learned through carefully designed instruction. type of vocabulary has a different purpose and fortunately the growth in one type of vocabulary supports the growth in another type. Vocabulary is the all the language and words either used or understood by a person or group of people. An example of vocabulary is all the words that a toddler understands. An example of vocabulary is the language used by doctors.
