10、hing has become more and more important. As an international language, English is widely used by people, the majority of people start to learn English. Language consists of three basic elements: pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar (Chen & Zhou, 2012). However, vocabulary is one important part of
11、English. Vocabulary is the most important component of English learning, and it has become a hot topic in society. In English teaching, vocabulary is the foundation, it is also crucial part of English learning, and the learning strategy is the one basic form of language comprehensive ability, so to
12、improve the learning efficiency is an important guarantee for the development of autonomous learning ability (Gao, 2008). English is an important tool of communication between country and country, people and people. Lack of a good vocabulary is lack of communication ability. Many teachers ignore stu
13、dents communication and autonomous learning ability in language learning process, and the learning efficiency is low. The classroom is the only source for students to learn vocabulary. Students do not have their own methods to learn. Language is to communicate; therefore, it is necessary to improve
14、the learners communicative ability. For non-native English learners, vocabulary is an essential part, and it connects the whole language learning process. Vocabulary will influence learners listening, writing, reading, speaking, translation and other activities in language learning. Although most st
15、udies of language learning strategies is indirectly related to vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) during the research process, there are not so much studies in-depth on VLSs. More and more linguists, who are engaged in the study of foreign language teaching, think words play an important role in
16、foreign language teaching (Zhang, 2003). To learn a language, at the first, learners need to learn the vocabulary. Over decades, the research of VLSs aroused great interest in the domestic and foreign scholars and educators; it has still a large development space in this field. The research on VLSs
17、is based on the study of second language learning strategies. English VLSs is also a hot problem between researchers on second language acquisition and English teacher. In the past 25 years, people have not a large-scale and a specific study on vocabulary learning, but the research on this area has
18、been in an upward trend. So language learning strategies is an important point in foreign language teaching. 1.2 The significance of Research Studies on English VLSsMost studies aim at investigating learning strategies in different levels about high school students. Vocabulary is an essential part o
19、f English and it is also an integral part of language. It plays a crucial role in the language learning. Just as a building can not be constructed without the building material, a language is not conceivable without vocabulary (Yang, 2008). Without vocabulary, the specific part of English will not b
20、e communicated with other people. According to Chen and Zhou (2012, P41), “Vocabulary is generally considered as the basic communication tool, and often labeled as the most problematic area by language learners”. If a language learners pronunciation and grammar are excellent, but he does not have vo
21、cabulary, then he can not express his thoughts and feelings, even do not understand others thoughts, so he will fail in communication. VLS plays a unique role in English teaching. The teacher can help students to have a good study habits to improve their interest in English learning, increase vocabu
22、lary, improve students listening, writing, reading, speaking and translation ability. The most important is that to help students have awareness to use VLSs to make plan to learn. Therefore, the knowledge of learning strategies is important because it will facilitate language teaching considerably (
23、Liu, 2010). In Chains traditional examination-oriented education mode, students are seen as receivers, and the teacher decides everything. The learning efficiency is low. So VLSs are very useful for second and foreign language learners to acquire vocabulary (Chen & Zhou, 2012). However, there ar
24、e few students on VLSs in high school students. High school is still a sprout stage on learning English. Vocabulary connects all English learning process. American Philologist Wilkins said that no grammar, people can not express a lot of things; but no vocabulary, people can not express anything. Th
25、erefore, the research of VLSs is very important. 1.3 Research Questions The studies of research got a big achievement in China and abroad. Many researchers have studies on VLSs. The purpose of the study is to research the VLSs between minorities and han high school students. According to this, there
26、 are two research questions of this paper: a) What VLSs are used by minority and han high school students?b) Are they any differences between minority and han students in VLSs? If yes, what are they?2 Literature Review 2.1 Definition of Learning StrategiesWhat is the learning strategy? The word “str
27、ategy” was derived from ancient Greek word “strategia”. It means the strategy on the war. In order to get a great result on the war, people often make the plan and strategies to fight. Taking it into study, it aims at studying more relaxing and efficiency. It is a science and highly efficiency learn
28、ing method. Definition of learning strategies is no agreement idea. Different researchers define strategy in different ways.According to Steen (1993), learning strategy is a thought, which was adopted by language learners, just peoples thoughts. Anderson (1980) pointed out the learning strategy is a
29、 cognitive skill from the cognitive to see study, and it is to use theory to research the learning strategy. According to Chamot (1987), learning strategies are methods, which the learners to promote language knowledge and other knowledge.Malley and chamot (1990) said that learning strategies are th
30、e special way to understand, learn and keep the latest message to learners.2.2 Classification of Learning StrategiesLearning strategies consists of many factors; the research studies on level and scope are different. Learning strategies are learners conscious, goal-oriented and problem-solving based
31、 efforts to achieve desirable learning efficiency (Yang, 2008). Motivation plays an important role in learners use of learning strategies. Among them, Chamots (1987) and Oxfords (1990) classification are widely accepted. Different researcher has different definition of learning strategies.According
32、to Cohens (1998) classification, learning strategies mainly consist of two parts: second language learning strategies and second language using strategies. Second language learning strategies is that the learner to identify the material to be learnt, distinguishing and groping it from other material
33、. Second language using strategies is that the learner to use strategies to retrieve and rehearsal material, and then to communicate. In terms of Oxfords (1990) classification, learning strategies mainly consist of two parts: direct strategies and indirect strategies. There are several strategies in
34、 each strategy. Direct strategies are consists of three parts: cognitive strategy, compensation strategy and memory strategy. Indirect strategies are also consists of three parts: meta-cognitive strategy, cognitive strategy and social-affective strategy.According to Malley and Chamots (1990) classif
35、ication, learning strategies mainly consist of three parts: meta-cognitive strategies, cognitive strategies and social-affective strategies. Also, there have several strategies in each strategy. Meta-cognitive strategies include centering, applying image and sound, and evaluating. Cognitive strategi
36、es consist of resourcing, repetition, grouping, deduction, imagery, note-taking, dictionary, inference, analyzing and internalizing. Social-affective strategies consist of question, cooperation, dealing with the ways learners interact or communicate with other speakers, native or non-native.2.3 Rese
37、arch Studies on VLSs 2.3.1 The Situation about VLSs in China The research of VLSs began in middle 1990 in China. Vocabulary acquisition is derived from 1880s, but VLSs is later. More and more people to learn English in our country, but they are not really to grasp of the extent of the foreign langua
38、ge on the intuitive. So the students self-study is regarded highly by people. Meanwhile, the research of this field is becoming more active. Gao and Zhang (2004) put 127 college non-English major students and 132 college English major students in Beijing teach-training university as the research obj
39、ects. The result of the research indicated that some students are not to use meta-cognitive strategies and cognitive strategies, the major students are not knew cognitive strategies. Gao (2008) put 197 English major freshmen and 205 senior non-English major students as the research objects. The resu
40、lt indicated that the teacher ought to strengthen to train strategies in vocabulary teaching, and attach to use social-affective strategies. The earliest study of vocabulary acquisition is the students vocabulary (Xu, 2006). With foreign language development, language learning strategies have become
41、 an important role in foreign language teaching (Xue, 2005). 2.3.2 The Situation about VLSs AbroadThe research on VLSs began in early 1990s abroad, and the foreign researchers have made a great achievement. Most research studies on VLSs are from western countries. The researchers divided the learnin
42、g strategies into different categories. Cohen (1998) through the research on VLSs, the result indicated that most students focus on direct discussion of actual strategies and their use, rather than categories of strategies.Oxford (1990) put American students as research objects, and the result indic
43、ated that the students use strategies to enhance their language learning. 3. Methodology3.1 Research ObjectsThe objects are 51 senior high school students at NO.1 high school in Shibing, including 21 minority students and 30 han students. The reason why they are chosen to be participants is they are
44、 senior students who will face university entrance examination. They must grasp a large size of vocabulary. In order to increase the size of vocabulary, they must act some useful learning strategies to learn and remember words so that they will have a good vocabulary to deal with such examination.3.
45、2 Research Instruments 3.2.1 QuestionnaireIn the research process, the paper is adopted questionnaire. There have 60 questionnaire issued to Shibing NO.1 senior high school students. The questionnaire can collect large amounts of data in a short time, and it can analyze and summarize the investigati
46、on from aspects of high school students in learning strategies.The questionnaire is designed by Malley and Chamot (1990) classifying of learning strategies. They are meta-cognitive strategies, cognitive strategies and social-affective strategies. Meta-cognitive strategies involved planning(1), selec
47、tion attention(2,3), self-monitoring(4,5), self-evaluating(6,7,8). Cognitive strategies involved dictionary(9,10,11,12), note-taking(13), repletion(14,15), exercises(16), guessing(17,18). Social-affective strategies involved cooperation (19, 20, 21), question (22, 23), self-confidence (24). Question
48、s in the questionnaire are adapted from Yangs (2008) questionnaire. 5 points are used each question, 1 stands for “Never do”, 2 stands for “Usually not do”, 3 stands for “Sometimes do or not”, 4 stands for “Usually do”, 5 stands for “Always do”. The questionnaire asked to investigators selection wit
49、h their actual situation.3.2.2 InterviewEight minority students and five han students are interviewees. Interview can get more details about the use of VLSs and the differences between minority and han high school students. It can learn the situation about students vocabulary learning directly. 4. R
50、esult 4.1 Data CollectionThe study issued 60 copies of questionnaire and retrieved 51 of them. For data collection and analysis, figured out the percentage about VLSs. If the percentage is higher than 0.50%, and then the students on this strategy of the use frequency is high. 4.2 Results 4.2.1 The S
