Abstract：In recent years, researchers at home and abroad have attached great importance to the studies of vocabulary learning strategies. Accordingly, various studies on vocabulary learning strategies have been evoked both in the foreign countries and in China. Nevertheless, most of these studies focused their attention mainly on college students and postgraduates. Therefore, this study attempts to explore the training effect of vocabulary learning strategies on high school students.
In this study, we first did a questionnaire investigation to look into the current situation concerning vocabulary learning strategies of high school students, and then we carried out our training experiment of vocabulary learning strategies on the chosen subjects. Through the questionnaire investigation and the training experiment, we found out that high school students tend to learn vocabulary by rote, seldom employing effective learning strategies, and that the training of vocabulary learning strategies has significant effect on the subjects’ vocabulary acquisition and even their overall English language learning. We hope that this study will shed some insights on the vocabulary teaching and autonomous learning in high school.

中文摘要：近年来，词汇学习策略受到了国内外学者的重视，而这在国内外也引发了一系列关于词汇学习策略方面的研究。然而，这些研究的实验对象都过于集中，以大学生和研究生为主。因此，本研究试图探讨高中生词汇学习策略的培养对其在词汇学习方面的具体影响效果。
在本次研究中，我们首先通过问卷以调查目前高中生词汇学习策略的使用现状；然后我们对所选取的实验对象进行了词汇学习策略的培养研究。通过问卷调查和培养实验，我们发现：高中生在词汇学习中，很少使用有效的词汇学习策略，仍是普遍采用传统的死记硬背方法；英语词汇学习策略的培养对受试者的词汇习得及对他们的英语学习具有显著效果。我们希望本研究能为高中英语词汇的教学以及自主学习方面提供一些见解。
