STRATEGIES FROM CONTEXT APPROACH
摘 要
本文首先讨论了英语词汇对于英语学习的重要性以及一些英语学习者面临的障碍，即掌握了大量的词汇却无法灵活自如，恰当地用英语交流；然后收集整理了国内外学者对于英语词汇学习的理论研究，以及对词汇记忆和应用提出的建议和方法；收集整理了国内外学者对语境的一系列理论和研究结果；最后结合语境，分析不同语境对英语词汇习得的作用，在不同语境下，可采用相应的词汇学习策略，如：词汇语境可帮助我们理解在不同词的搭配中词语的意义可能发生的变化。语法语境可帮助我们理解在不同的语法结构中词语意义不尽相同。情景语境可帮助我们理解掌握不同的话语背景、事件的时间和地点、个人经历、参与者以及它们之间关系的词语意义。了解文化语境，可以帮助学习者避免在词汇理解及使用上的偏差。

ABSTRACT
This paper first explores the significance of vocabulary acquisition in English learning and the obstacles encountered by English learners that, although they have mastered a great number of vocabulary, it is still difficult for them to talk freely with foreigners. It then gathers and concludes the studies on context and vocabulary learning at home and abroad. Then it elaborates the learning methods based on different kinds of context. We can learn that: Lexical context can help us understand that the meaning of a word may vary in different collocations. With the help of grammatical context, we know the word meaning can be determined by different grammatical structures. With the help of situational context, we can get the word meaning according to the speech background, the place and the time of the speech event, personal experiences, participants and their relationship. For cultural context, good command of that can greatly improve the effectiveness of foreign language communication.
