For the language learners, especially the high school students in China with heavy learning pressure, learning some useful vo-cabulary strategies would be helpful for them to master the basic elements. The study aims to do a questionnaire on the English vocabulary learning strategies for high school students in Chaozhou and figure out what the general conditions of using vocabulary strategies for high school students in a high school are. The study showed most students did not use mechanical memory strategy in a high frequency in learning vocabulary. Secondly, it was an unexpected result that high school students used cognitive strategies more than metacognitive strategies, which was totally different from previous research by other scholars. In light of the results, some practical suggestions on teachers and students are proposed.
