| Abstract | This paper probes into the English vocabulary learning strategies adopted by ethnic minority students in Leshan Normal University. In a study carried out in Leshan Normal University, altogether 250 non-English majors from different departments are chosen at random as research subjects, of whom 125 are Han students and the rest are ethnic minority students. Based on the data analysis, the study finds out: firstly, all students in the study share in common that English vocabulary should be acquired in context and by practice instead of being acquired simply by rote; secondly, the ethnic minority students adopt nearly all the vocabulary learning strategies more frequently than the Han students; and finally, the Han students and the ethnic minority students differ mainly in the following vocabulary learning strategies: guessing strategy, mother tongue dependence strategy, selective attention strategy, visual repetition strategy, association strategy and dictionary strategy. By this study, the paper tends to help ethnic minority students to take advantages of diverse vocabulary learning strategies in their English study and further to put forward some implications for EFL teachers in Leshan Normal University. |
