By vocabulary habits we mean the ability:
To transfer of a word from distant memory to immediate memory;
To check the correctness of selection of a particular word in the given situation;
To instantly evaluate combinability of the word chosen with other vocabulary items;
To quickly choose the proper paradigmatic form of the word suitable for a particular structure
By methodological typology of the language material we mean distribution of lexical units into groups in accordance with the degree of their complexity for assimilation.
Different approaches to recognition of lexical (vocabulary) complexity:
taking into account qualitative characteristics of words, that is formal, functional and semantic peculiarities of a particular word and complexity of its assimilation under the condition of contact between two languages.
taking into account quantitative characteristics of words which imply wide use of words as well as their length which is measured in the number of letters or syllables.
***************
The basic principles of selection of the active minimum Voc.:
semantic approach;
combinative approach;
stylistic approach ;
frequency approach;
word-building value;
words of polysemantic value;
excluding synonyms;
excluding international words.
NB! The active minimum Voc. is selected on the basis of topics and communicative situations, analysis of phonogram, dialogues, written speech.
****************
The criteria of selection of the passive minimum Voc.:
derivability;
polysemantic character;
frequency and wide use;
topical associations;
semantic and word-building value.
The main stages of formation of the vocabulary habits.
Stage I - presentation of a new Voc. Aim – to introduce a new word and disclose (convey) of the meaning of each word.

The choice of a way of conveying the meaning of a word depends on the following factors: 1) whether the word belongs to the active or passive minimum Voc.;
2) on the stage of learning: at the junior level – visual techniques, speech-patterns, translation; at the intermediate level – synonyms, antonyms, word-building analysis; at the senior level - context, definitions;
3) on the level of the language preparation of the class;
4) on the qualitative characteristics of a word.
