A recent survey on the Internet reveals that college students are worrying about their words power very much, eager to find an efficient and effective way. Hence, various modes of word memorizing methods are collected and a brief classification and remark are available. By an overall analysis of those methods, a new approach compromised by different kinds of methods turns out. This new approach completely abides by the philosophy of pragmatism, and every idea with practical use will be introduced to it, e.g. psychology of language and so on.展开更多

A scientific and effective way of vocabulary teaching and learning is strongly desired. This paper explores a comparatively new approach--Task Based Approach (TBA) and its application to teaching English vocabularies in colleges. The emphasis of TBA is on learning by doing, which gets learners to do things or complete tasks by using English.The application of TBA to college English vocabulary teaching (CEVT) in this paper is an attempt that hopes to provide some practical reference value for the reform of college English Teaching (CET).展开更多

Among the three factors of language, vocabulary tends to be more vulnerable to attrition compared with syntax and phoneme. Therefore, a study based on vocabulary attrition is of greater importance. By reviewing the literatures on language attrition and outlining the influencing factors of language attrition, the paper tends to figure out the corresponding strategies which are effective in college English vocabulary teaching.展开更多
