Abstract

Vocabulary learning is the foundation of English learning, and English learning without talking about vocabulary learning is often ineffective. However, learning English vocabulary has always been a difficult task for Chinese students. Due to the problems of learning methods, tools and approaches, many English learners have poor vocabulary memorization results and thus become averse to learning this language. With the introduction of smartphones and the emergence of English learning apps, students can learn English vocabulary effectively by using fragments of time without the limitation of time and space. Based on the current situation of college students’ English vocabulary learning, this paper analyzes the methods and strategies of college students’ vocabulary memorization based on the mainstream English vocabulary memorization applications in China, and comes up with three strategies that are suitable for college students to learn English vocabulary effectively: the combined association memorization method, the split-word batch memorization method and the daily context memorization method.
