Whatever they want to learn, it is necessary for them to own a good memory. Many stu

14、dents always complain that they do not have a good memory so that they spend lots of time remembering words or learning other things, but they forget what they have learned after a short time lapses. This phenomenon arises, because they fail to find good ways to memorize what they are learning. Teac

15、hers should help students master the strategies of learning and remembering words fast and firmly. The present chapter analyses the reasons and significance of the research and briefly introduces main contents of the study and its research methods. 1.1 Purposes and Significance of the ResearchDuring

16、 the long history of humans development, language has been playing the most important role in inheriting civilization. It is English that makes great contributions to build a bridge between people, who are from different countries and have different mother tongues. English, as a widely-used language

17、, is the carrier of the world science and technology progress, the international development and cultural communication. Meanwhile, English is a necessary tool for every social member who adapts to changing times and social development. Since the early 1970s, English has become the required foreign

18、language in secondary schools. So far, English has enjoyed nearly half a century of history in China. With the time passing by, China opens to the world, especially since it became a member of World Trade Organization. Nowadays, the number of English learners in China is increasing. Whats more, a co

19、mmon phenomenon can be seen that English is widely used in every corner of the whole world. It is not difficult for every person to draw a conclusion that it is essential to learn English well as possible as we can.English, as an instrument of communication, includes three elements: pronunciation, v

20、ocabulary and grammar. Vocabulary, as one of the three language factors, is the building material of a language (Mao Yayun, 2012). If languages are compared to a building, then grammar is the steel framework of the building and vocabulary is the blocks of the building. As a result, when learning Eng

21、lish, we should memorize a large number of words. Besides, vocabulary is also the tool to express thoughts and the minimal unit of language (Zhang Tiecheng, 2011). In the process of learning English, vocabulary learning occupies an extremely important position. Only if a variety of words are known,

22、English is learned well. However, it is how to remember words that is the most difficult task secondary school students confront. Although students spend plenty of time and energy remembering words, they can not always remember them. The reason is that students do not find scientific ways to memoriz

23、e words. It is pointed out that from the point of view of memory different materials have different methods to remember (Zhang Tiecheng, 2011). One important and necessary task of teachers is to cultivate students ability to memorize English words quickly in English learning. In other words, under t

24、he help of their teachers and their own efforts, students can be able to spend the least time memorizing the most words, improving English. 1.2 Main Contents of the StudyToday, English used widely in every place of the world, the ways to learn English become the focus of attention. However, the basi

25、s and key of learning is word memory. The famous American author and educator, Mr. L. Ronhubbar (1991) raises his educational theory that vocabulary influences understanding and application of English. The number of words mastered directly influences students learning effect of English. But memorizi

26、ng words has always been a major problem English learners are facing. The problem is that words are remembered slowly, but forgotten soon; the latter words may be memorized, the former forgotten. How to solve the problem has always been paid close attention to by educators, researchers and English t

27、eachers. How to improve students word memorization in English learning is one of the major problems the current research focuses on. It is necessary for English teachers to get rid of the conception that teaching words is just teaching words. When English teachers teach their students vocabulary, te

28、achers not only tell them words meanings and usage, but also teach students how to bear in mind words quickly, pay attention to develop students word memory ability. This thesis is written from the point of view of cultivating the ability to remember words. The paper is divided into five chapters. C

29、hapter one introduces the purposes and significance of the research, the main contents and research methods. International and domestic researches on improving words memorization are explained in chapter two. Chapter three mainly analyses qualities of memory: quickness, correctness, persistence and

30、extractability. Based on the previous discussion, chapter four puts forward effective strategies to improve students ability to memorize English vocabulary. This chapter includes three parts. The first part discusses how to train students ability of ultra-short-term-memory in English class teaching. The second part discusses some special and scientific methods to remember words, including phonetic method, clas
