interpretation

1. A teacher’s best friend in the effort to increase an elementary student’s vocabulary is the student’s own motivation to discover meaning. Drilling lists of words seldom takes place at a time when the student feels a need to know those words; it fails to use the natural motivation for learning the associations between word and meaning. Learning through reading faces the opposite problem: not enough information about the word is available at the moment the student is
motivated to learn its meaning.

Q) I was wondering what the first sentence means. It seems some other meaning other than a direct interpretation.
Also, how to interpret "in the effort" in the first sentence?
