Since 1970s, the second language vocabulary acquisition research has gradually become the hot point and important subje

6、ct in the second language vocabulary acquisition research area. These researches aim to discuss the efficiency vocabulary memory strategies to promote the memory skills and vocabulary levels. Then how to acquire vocabulary become popular among the researchers. Wenden &Rubin （1987）, OMalley& Chamot （

Especially, CohenAphek （1981）, Porte （1988）, O Malley19（ 90）, Vann （90）, Cohen （1990）, etc made a basic searching of vocabulary acquisition

8、. In a word, there are various opinions in how to acquire vocabulary. Firstly, it talks about the importance of vocabulary. Secondly, what does it mean to “acquire”a word? This paper mainly aims to the detail analysis of the vocabulary acquisition from three aspects： Meta-cognitive Strategy; Cogniti

9、ve Strategy and Social or Affective Strategy. Especially, it highlights the effect of the context and rending to vocabulary acquisition. This paper talks about the applications of the vocabulary acquisition strategies. And it puts forward some problems and difficulties of vocabulary acquisition. Thi

It includes the mother tongue, age, language contact, logical thinking ability, identity degree, and academic motivationThe purpose of this paper is to rise the awareness of English learners that the importance of vocabulary in langua

Through the analysis of the theory of study, the paper tries to draw thelearner attsention to the strategies of the second language vocabulary acquisition and using the v

In order to improve the acquisition efficiency, some strategies put into practice are introduced.The first presents the importance of vocabulary, some basic concepts of vocabulary and vocabulary learning, the second part tells what does it mean to know a word, the third p

The fourth part is detailed discussion of vocabulary acquisition strategies in different levels of learners. The last part is conclusion.Literature review1.The importa

14、nce of vocabularyAs the first time, when we go to school and our English teacher will tell us that vocabulary is of great importance in learning English. After several years, we understand words gradually, especially when we study in high school. If we know a little about vocabulary, we may have poo

15、r English. That is because the listening, speaking, reading and writing show the necessary of learning vocabulary.Many researchers agree that lexis is at least as important as structure, because it is using wrong words and not wrong grammar that usually breaks down communication. Mistakes in lexis m

16、uch more often lead to misunderstanding and may be less generously tolerated outside classroom than mistakes in syntax. （Carter, 1987）. As Stephen Krashen remarked, “When students travel, they dont carry grammar books, they carry dictionaries.A significant role of vocabulary in both teaching and lea

17、rning processes was first stated by Stephen Krashen inThe Natural Approach （1985）:“Vocabulary is basic for communication. If acquirers do not recognize the meaning of the key words used by those who addressthem they will be unable to participate in the conversation”.Words are basic tools in human co

18、mmunication; therefore they determine the main part of peoples life-relationships between people and associations with the surrounding world that people live in. The larger one s vocabulary, the easier it is to express ones thoughts and feelings.In real communication, correctly and idiomatically use

19、d vocabulary can even decreasesome structural inaccuracy and grammar errors. （Zhang Jiying, 2002）. So learners should enrich and expand their knowledge of words as much as possible in order to communicate effectively in a foreign language.2.What does it mean to“know”a word?Knowing a word is not a si

20、mple phenomenon. In fact, it is quite complex and goes far beyond the words meaning and pronunciation. （Zhang Jiying, 2002）. Richards （1976） think knowing a word means also knowing the frequency of words and their likely collocates; being aware of the functional and situation limitations that apply;

21、 knowledge of the “syntactic behavior ;”derivational forms and word class; associative and connotative knowledge; semantic value-breaking down words into minimal units as with componential analysis （see Katz&Fodor1963or Leech1974）; knowing the other （possible） meaning associated. Nagy and Scott （200

22、0） identify several dimensions that describe the complexity of what it means to know a word. First, word knowledge is incremental, which means that readers need to have many exposures to a word in different contexts before they “know”it. Second, word knowledge is multidimensional. This is because ma

23、ny words have multiple meanings and serve different functions in different function in different sentences,texts, and even conversations. Third, word knowledge is interrelated in that knowledge of one word connects knowledge of other words.What all of this means is that “knowing ”a word is a matter

24、of degree rather than an all-or-nothing proposition （Beck&Mckeown, 1991; Nagy&Scott, 2000）. The degree of knowing a word are reflected in the precision with which we use a word, how quickly we understand a word, and how well we understand and use words in different modes and different purpose.Knowin

25、g a word also implies knowing how that word relates to other knowledge. Finally, knowing a word means being able to appreciate its connotations and subtleties. When we know a word at this level, we can use and recognize it in idioms, jokes, slang, and puns （Johnson, &Schlicting, 2004）.3.Second Langu

26、age Vocabulary Acquisition StrategiesVocabulary acquisition is the part of English learning. Since 1960s, more and more attentions and researches had been toward to vocabulary acquisition strategies. When it comes to 1980s or 1990s, the vocabulary acquisition strategies gain fruitful results. Cohen

27、Aphek （1981）, Porte （1988）, O Malley（1990）, Vann （1990）, Cohen（1990） made a basic discussion in vocabulary acquisition strategies.OMalley&Chamot （1990） classify language learning strategy into three methods: Meta cognitive strategy, Cognitive strategy, and Social or Affective strategy. Meta cognitiv

28、e strategy refers to strategies of advance preparation, directed attention, selective attention, self-management, self monitoring and self-evaluation. And the results indicate that the metacognitive strategy teaching is significant in developing learner autonomy, which shows prominent pros-pectin fo

29、reign language teaching. A cognitive strategy serves to support the learner as he or she develops internal procedures that enable him/her to perform tasks that are complex （Rosen shine, 1997）. The use of cognitive strategies can increase the efficiency with which the learner approaches a learning ta

30、sk. These academic tasks can include, but are not limited to, remembering and applying information from course content, constructing sentences and paragraphs, editing written work, paraphrasing, and classifying information to be learned.The memory strategy, cognitive strategy, social strategy and me

31、tacognitve strategy are used more frequently than the affective strategy and compensative strategy.Oxford （1990） put forward a more comprehensive classification system of strategy, which includes six categories: memory strategy, cognitive strategy, compensatory strategy, metacognitive strategy, affe

32、ctive strategy, and social strategy. Nation （1990） put forward semantic manufacturing strategy of “what is it”. From different aspect, researchers have different classification of strategies. Stoffer （1995） made a factor analysis of 53vocabulary acquisition strategies and extract 9 factors: the strategy of practice and apply words in authentic situation; the strategy of creative learning vocabulary; the self-motivation strategy
