摘要：As a component of language proficiency, lexical ability is essential to language learners, and a flurry of scholarly work in the last several decades has confirmed its importance to the academic world as well as language teaching (e.g. Coady &Huckin 1997, Nation 1990, 2001, Schimit & McCarthy 1997, Singleton 1999 etc.). This paper aims to illustrate that it is feasible to use semantic-association method to boost the study of active words by raising language learners' consciousness and activating the associative networks of vocabulary in learners' mental lexicon. Based on the rationale that vocabulary of a language is an organized network of sense-relations, this paper designs a series of classroom activities aiming at activating peoples' mental lexicon and producing more varied and advanced vocabulary in their writing. In this paper, chapter one introduces the definition and description of passive words and active words. Following chapter one, chapter two focuses the theory and its application in teaching. And in the last chapter, several classroom activities are designed to improve the active use of vocabulary.
