摘要

内容摘要：词汇学习是语言学习中的重要环节，为找到有效的学习词汇方法,词汇学习策略的研究已经有几十年。作为现代语言学习策略中的热点问题，国内外已经进行了很多研究。最近几年来，国内对这一领域的研究从广度和深度都有了很大发展，这大大丰富了对于中国学生英语词汇学习过程的了解。
    但是国内多数研究都是针对非英语专业学习者，本研究是针对英语专业学习者。建立在欧麦力和萨默特对于词汇学习策略的分类，包括元认知策略、认知策略、社会情感策略基础上，通过对九江学院 60名英语专业学生的问卷调查，作者发现英语专业的学生运用多种词汇学习策略。优秀的学习者更倾向于运用各种各样的策略而且他们对于策略的运用有更大的灵活性,成绩欠佳的学习者对于策略的使用则欠灵活。
    作者建议教师在词汇教学中要充当学生的引导者,并帮助挖掘学生对于词汇学习的兴趣。学习者应该寻找适合自己的学习方法而不能只是照搬别人的。

关键词：学习策略;  词汇学习策略;  有效性
