Schemata, Schema theory, Vocabulary learning strategyAbstract
Vocabulary is the basic element in language and the containment of form, semantic and phonetic.
However, most teachers and students neglect the importance of vocabulary learning. Many students only acquire a small amount of v ocabulary and can not apply those words flexibly in writing or speaking. In view of this, teachers should help students to have a good command of vocabulary learning strategies. Schema theory originated from Kant's observation. Based on psychological model of a learner’s background knowledge, schema theory is used by the psychologists to explain the understanding process. It guides the students to motivate their background knowledge in the mind and ultimately to understand the current knowledge, constructed in the vocabulary teaching. Schema theory based instructions have positive influence on students' vocabulary learning strategies.
