Abstract Vocabulary teaching strategy has been a hot issue for a long time in the study of second language (L2) teaching. This study is based on the observation and analysis of the video clips of the 7th National Primary School English Teaching Competition, 2014. Before the study, documentary method will be taken to get an overall understanding of the vocabulary teaching strategy including its development both in theory and practice. Then videos of 29 teachers who took part in that national teaching competition will be carefully observed and analyzed. During the observation, many details of the classes will be written down such as the teacher’s choice of teaching instruction, the teacher's gestures and etc. Analyses will focus primarily on the aspects like 1) How did the teacher handle these new words? / What teaching strategies are adopted by the teacher? 2) How did these teachers actually apply these strategies in class teaching? 3) What's the detailed distribution of the usage of these strategies?47579
