Moreover, the concept of vocabulary autonomous learning comes into consideration. In this study, we have got the information about the current status of the vocabulary learning under the autonomous learning mode through the questionnaires and tests to the senior high school students. The conclusion can be drawn that students can get an expansion of a certain vocabulary effectively through the autonomous learning mode. In addition, vocabulary self-regulated learning plays an active impact on improving reading comprehension.
