The paper mainly analyses the present state of the vocabulary teaching in senior middle schools, and it uses research methods of literature analysis. This paper focuses on teaching strategy, how to teach the students to learn, adopting associative memorizing strategy, emotional strategy and word formation strategy to find a way of teaching vocabulary more scientifically and effectively in the new environment of teaching.

I. Introduction
As is known to all, the three elements of language are pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Vocabulary is one of the basic elements of the language. Vocabulary is the foundation of the other learning activities such as speaking and translating. The English linguist, Wilkins, said: “if there is no grammar, people can only express something, but if there is no vocabulary, people can express nothing”. (Wilkins 111) As a consequence, vocabulary learning and teaching is the key to English learning and teaching.
Since vocabulary learning is a long-term task, the right vocabulary learning strategy can make the students independent from the teacher. Their effective learning can enlarge their vocabulary gradually. The appropriate learning strategy can make the students learn the vocabulary effectively at any time. It can enhance students' confidences of vocabulary learning. The good habit can have the foundation to the further study in school. The British scholar, Michsel West, said, “learning a language is the main task of the acquisition of vocabulary, and use the vocabulary as a master”. Harmer, said, if the language structure is compared to the skeleton of language, the vocabulary words provide vital organs and flesh and blood for language.(Harmer 13) Therefore, the requirement of vocabulary is not only learning and remembering, but also using and expressing. The vocabulary teaching can not only enlarge students' vocabulary, but also improve students' abilities to use the known words. But some students have a small vocabulary and don't know how to use the words they know. This paper aims at helping students grasp some effective vocabulary learning strategies. By a series of useful teaching behaviors, teachers can improve the vocabulary teaching process. Strategies refer to the fact that the teaching plans to guide students to study, in order to achieve teaching objectives successfully, teachers should cultivate the students' vocabulary memorization abitities and teach students to learn and master vocabulary effectively. 论高中英语词汇教学策略:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_35736.html
