Abstract

One of the difficulties in English language teaching and learning is vocabulary acquisition, to which vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) have been proved of vital importance. Since the college English education reform, the web-based and multimedia learning environment has replaced the traditional one and calls for autonomous learners equipped with learning strategies more urgently. This study took a university in China as an example to explore the vocabulary-specific strategy using and teaching in the new environment. The aim of the research is to gain insightful experience so as to benefit current English vocabulary teaching and learning at the university level.
