Moreover some people think that English vocabulary course is unnecessary and it should only be learned by students themselves. Worse still, some teachers just give up the teaching of vocabulary for they think vocabulary lesson is to recite words and that is the students’ business.  \nBut in fact, it is not right, because teacher’s guidance in students’ learning is crucial, and the teaching of vocabulary is important for students’ language competence. English vocabulary learning belongs to the category of basic knowledge, and the basic knowledge of students is a necessary condition and foundation for practical use of English, no matter for oral English competence or English writing and reading ability. It is the responsibility of teachers to think such a question why students have little enthusiasm and weak interest in vocabulary course, and why the classroom atmosphere is dull instead of active and interactive. It is the task of teachers to design a vocabulary course with interesting content and interactive parts to make the lesson vivid and to improve the students’ enthusiasm and interest.  \nActually, in English vocabulary there are many interesting and meaningful phenomena, such as spoonerisms, oxymoron, malapropisms, palindrome, etc., which leave a “space” for language-leaners to find out secret and surprise, and to actively explore and discover something different instead of negatively reciting words. They make the boring vocabulary lesson be changed into the interesting and interactive practical course, which is one of the sources of interest for students.  \nThe author in this paper intends to give a brief introduction to one of these interesting linguistic phenomena, palindrome, including the definition, origin and function etc., for teachers to use for reference so as to make their course more vivid and effective.  \nKeywords: English words, vocabulary course, Palindrome, teaching methods  \n1. Introduction  \nWhen creating, famous writers like to use English words cleverly. For example, in William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream there is such oxymoronic words as follows:  \n\"A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus  \nAnd his love Thisby; very tragical mirth. '  \nMerry and tragical! tedious and brief!  \nThat is hot ice and wondrous strange snow. \"  \nHow shall we find the concord of this discord?  \n1 Fund Information  \nProject Source: 2018 Research Project of Teaching Reform of Sichuan University of Science And Engineering  \nProject Name: Cognitive Errors and Strategies of English Practical Teaching from the Perspective of University’s Transformation and Development  \nProject Number: JG-1862  \nPublished by Sciedu Press 31 ISSN 1925-0703 E-ISSN 1925-0711  \nIn this poem,“Merry and tragical”, “tedious and brief”,“hot ice”, “wondrous strange” and “the concord of this discord”, all of the collocations are contradictory and antonyms. Used together, those apparently contradictory words produce a special effect: to profoundly reveal the inner conflict and complex emotions of the speaker, which enhances the literariness of the poem.  \nThere is a famous saying by Napoleon when he was exiled to the Mediterranean island of Elba, which is “Able was Iere I saw Elba”.
