The main function of English learning is to help people communicate with each other and give them chances to learn about language application, culture and habits of other countries. Therefore, how to learn and master English remains an important issue. Vocabulary is an important object of English learning and occupies a very important position in the whole process of English learning. As the linguists D.A. Wilkins described, “Without grammar, little can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed”(21). More and more English teachers and foreign language learners have realized its importance. Memorizing vocabulary is the biggest difficulty in English learning because English vocabulary is huge, and each has a variety of usages and each of them contains more than one meaning. Therefore, the mastery of vocabulary is an essential process in English learning. Students spare no efforts and spend lots of time in learning English, especially learning vocabulary, but its unsatisfactory effect and low efficiency can hardly meet their needs and efforts. Thus it is necessary for English learners to know more about the vocabulary memorizing strategies and to apply them properly.
