A study of English vocabulary learning strategies in rural junior middle schools

Abstract

Vocabulary teaching is an important part of English teaching. However, in the actual teaching process, junior high school students cannot express their ideas accurately and smoothly because of their incomplete grasp of vocabulary meaning and lack of vocabulary. To cultivate students' language expression ability, teachers need to strengthen students' vocabulary accumulation. Junior high school students need to memorize a large number of words, and rote learning alone is not feasible. Therefore, teachers should not only teach students the basic knowledge of English words, but also teach students how to memorize words efficiently. This is also an effective way to improve the quality of junior high school English teaching. Considering the special environment in rural areas, it is necessary to help students learn vocabulary strategies and improve their vocabulary memory. This paper mainly discusses the English Vocabulary Learning Strategies of rural junior middle schools and the general characteristics of vocabulary learning concepts. In order to test whether junior high school students' mastery of vocabulary learning strategies will affect their own English proficiency, the author gives guidance to junior high school students in rural areas. This paper also puts forward some substantive suggestions on cultivating students' vocabulary strategies, with a view to providing some help to English teachers in rural areas in vocabulary teaching.
