自从二语词汇学习在二语习得领域成为一门独立的研究问题后,它一直受到理论家及教育前线的任课教师的关注。同时它是二语学习者语言学习上的一个绊脚石,一些学习者甚至将他们语言学习的失败归因于一个问题:词汇量不足或所谓的词汇量不足(有些学习者记了很多词汇但不会用于现实生活中)。本文主要就最近研究做一篇文献综述,并在此基础上提出教师可以在教学中将学习者的学习动机与词汇学习策略结合起来激发他们的语言学习兴趣,从而帮助他们走出词汇学习的困境。 Since L2 vocabulary learning has become an independent research issue in second language acquisition, it has been the focus of both theorists and classroom teachers at the front of education. At the same time it is a stumbling block to second language learners’ language learning. Some learners even attribute failure to their language learning to one problem: insufficient vocabulary or so-called inadequate vocabulary (some learners remember many words but do not Used in real life). In this paper, we mainly make a literature review of recent studies. Based on this, we propose that teachers can combine their learning motivation and vocabulary learning strategies to stimulate their interest in language learning so as to help them get out of the plight of vocabulary learning.
