Vocabulary Learning Strategies in the Chinese EFL Context

Learners and teachers of a foreign language instinctively know how important vocabulary learning strategies are.

This is especially true in China where the sheer number of English words that need to be learned has become a stumbling block for millions who struggle to learn English.

This volume attempts to illustrate the various strategies used in China to help students learn vocabulary.

The ultimate purpose of learner strategies research is to make a difference in learning and teaching.

Although this book is about vocabulary learning strategies in the mainland Chinese context, much of what is discovered should be relevant to researchers, teachers, and learners in other parts of the world as well.
