This study investigates the learning attitudes toward English vocabulary for junior college freshmen. Also studied were the influence of their interest toward English, their recognition of the importance of English for future employment, and the influence of demographic items on learning attitudes toward English vocabulary. The major findings of this study are as follows:1. Overall, freshmen performed fairly well in the “learning process”, and “learning customs” categories. However, they perform relatively poorly in “learning method”. 2. Freshmen with high entrance exam scores in English perform better in “learning method”, “learning desire”, and “preparation for exams” than those with low scores. 3. The same situations were also found for freshmen with different recognition levels of the importance of English for future employment or with different levels of interests in English. Finally, we also make some suggestions for junior college English teachers and for future researchers.
