摘要

在二语习得中，词汇对于语言学习者有着异乎寻常的重要性，词汇是一切语言技能的基础。探索并总结积极有效的词汇记忆策略，是减轻学生负担、培养学生英语学习兴趣、提高英语学习成绩的有效途径。过去 20 年里，许多专家和学者做了大量的研究工作,在他们的共同努力下，英语词汇学习策略的研究有了显著的进步，也取得了很大的成绩。大量事实已证明：掌握数量可观、记忆牢固的词汇是英语学习成功的关键。一些学者对优秀学生的词汇学习策略进行了研究；另一些学者研究了一定群体学习者的词汇学习策略；还有的学者研究了不同性别的学习者的词汇学习策略的使用情况。然而，以非英语专业研究生的英语词汇学习策略为研究对象的却不多。这篇文章在回顾了国内外词汇学习策略的研究现状之后,主要以大连外国语大学非英语专业一年级的研究生为研究对象，探索了他们英语词汇记忆策略使用情况,旨在了解非英语专业研究生使用英语词汇记忆策略的情况，证明词汇学习策略训练对高一学生的英语词汇学习有积极的促进作用。本文通过问卷调查和教学实验,试图回答以下问题:

1)学生目前的英语词汇记忆策略使用现状如何？

2)词汇策略训练能否提高学生词汇水平?是否有促进作用？

研究结果表明：有效的词汇记忆策略能改善学生的英语学习状况，并提高其英语成绩。非英语专业研究生常用的英语词汇学策略有很多，如构词记忆法；拼读策略；词汇表策略；语境策略；查字典策略；分类记忆策略；元认知策略等，并且使用多种词汇记忆策略的效果明显优于少量策略，掌握越多的策略越容易扩大学生的词汇记忆量。
