Based on the review of established frameworks for second language acquisition and vocabulary learning, a more systematic and comprehensive framework of VLPs is constructed with six new VLPs explored and specified sequentially in a cycle. It aims to help initiate learners＇ mental efforts in a rational way and thereby achieve learners＇ long-term word retention and good word transfer.

文摘This paper demonstrates a new framework of vocabulary learning processes（VLPs） with fill/ justification of involved learning steps, in response to inefficient self-directed vocabulary learning（SDVL） of college students in China's Mainland. Based on the review of established frameworks for second language acquisition and vocabulary learning, a more systematic and comprehensive framework of VLPs is constructed with six new VLPs explored and specified sequentially in a cycle. It aims to help initiate learners＇ mental efforts in a rational way and thereby achieve learners＇ long-term word retention and good word transfer. Besides, the newly-designed VLPs are embodied in authentic learning material for learners＇ self-study of vocabulary in particular domains. The efficacy of the material is also tested in an empirical study for the purpose of validating the effectiveness of these VLPs.
