1、首都师范大学 硕士学位论文 中学生英语词汇学习策略研究 摘要词汇学习是落言学习中的环节,许多外语学习者想通过有效的方法学习目的 语中的词汇。所以,近几年来,语言学家们对词汇学习观念和词汇学习策略进行 了研究。然而,国外的不少研究都局限于对某一种记忆方法的有效性进行探讨;国内的关于词汇学习观念和策略的实证性研究比较少,而且大多以非英语专业的 大学生作为研究对象。本文旨在探索词汇学习策略在中国中学生英语学习中的运用,以及初中生和 高中生在英语词汇学习策略使用上存在的差异。受试者为来自三所中学的315 名学生。他们参与了一份问卷调查,该问卷是参考了 Gu and Johnson(1996)的 问卷改
