And in the course of English learning, Vocabulary acquisition is one of the important parts for it is the fundamental ways to learn English and also the premise of language application. However, many EFL students in China seem not to succeed in dealing with English words. One reason is that students are influenced by the traditional ideas that learning English should pay more attention to grammar and sentence structure instead of words thus they learn English words just by memorizing pronunciation, spelling and general meaning. Besides, as far as teacher is concerned, they tend to think that students can learn English words well by themselves thus little instructions are given to students on how to learn words efficiently. As a result, there are many occasions when students cannot use words precisely and correctly.
