Vocabulary Learning Activities Employed by Chinese English-Major Undergraduates and Their Reflections on the Activities

Abstract

Chinese English-major undergraduates face a
demanding task regarding English vocabulary learning. Previous
studies have focused on vocabulary learning strategies. Few
studies have examined what learners actually do to tackle
vocabulary learning tasks. The current study adopted qualitative
research methods. Findings are reported in the following aspects:
1) what vocabulary learning activities do Chinese English-major
undergraduates employ regarding English vocabulary learning
tasks? 2) What measurements do they use to evaluate their
learning results? And 3) what difficulties do these learners
encounter?
