Abstract

Vocabulary is the core of language learning, so English vocabulary is of paramount importance. Researchers have been studying for many years to find out effective methods of remembering words, therefore, image schema theory emerges as the time requires. Image schema theory is helpful for students to remember words profoundly and lastingly, but it is often ignored in the teaching process because teachers have to spend more time preparing for their classes if they choose the method to explain the meanings and uses of words. The paper takes advantage of some examples to illustrate the application of the theory to English vocabulary teaching, hoping to popularize the method and make it helpful for students to remember words more effectively.
