1. Introduction

1.1 Research Background

    It is well known that learning second language involves the learning of a large number of vocabulary. In the 1970s, the status of vocabulary has been raised with the application of Communicative language Teaching Approach. And English linguist George W.Wilkins (1972) also claimed the importance of vocabulary in learning language by saying that “ no grammar, less expression; no vocabulary, no expression”.

    Concerning the significance of vocabulary in learning second language, scholars abroad and in China has conducted a large number of theoretical and empirical researches to study the vocabulary learning strategies in order to facilitate vocabulary learning. The scholars in China, on one hand, pay more attention to vocabulary learning strategy use of high school students and English major students who are not typical enough for study. On the other hand, they concerned about the general condition of students’ vocabulary learning strategy uses as well as the relationship between strategy employment and beliefs. However, there are many other factors influencing the strategy use, such as gender, major and so on. What’s more, after reading the two researches carried out by Yang Li and Fan Lin, the author found that the difference of vocabulary learning strategies use between science and art majored students concluded by them is totally opposite. Yang Li concluded that art majors and science majors differ in terms of dictionary use strategies and guessing strategies but were similar in using note-taking and rehearsal strategies, while Fan Lin got the conclusion totally opposite. 非英语专业学生词汇学习策略研究(2):http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_50170.html
