Abstract：Learning words is one of essential parts in learning English. Wilkins (1972) once said: without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed. It exemplified the importance of vocabulary in learning a foreign language. A survey in memorizing English words shows that college students have many problems. While studies on memorizing English words are particularly few in China. With the guidance of memory clues and the traits of words, this thesis points out the relationship between memory and association, expatiates upon the basic theory of association memory, and reviews the relative studies on association memory methods conducted in China. Based on the review, this thesis puts forward specific association memory methods by resorting to the sound, form and meaning of English words, and aims at advocating the actual application of association memory methods in words learning process to cope with students’ problems of memorizing English words and improve word-learning effectively.

中文摘要：学习单词是英语学习的一个重要部分。曾有威尔金斯（1972）说：“没有语法只能传达很少的信息，没有词汇则什么也无法表达”足以说明词汇在外语学习中的重要性。在大学生英语词汇记忆方法调查中发现他们的词汇学习中存在很多问题。然而目前在我国对词汇学习策略的研究甚少。本论文以记忆规律和词汇本身的特点为依据，阐述了记忆与联想的关系，论述了联想记忆的基本理论；回顾了我国在联想记忆词汇方面的相关研究，并在此基础上，针对单词本身特点提出英语单词的发音、词形、含义的联想记忆方法，旨在提倡联想记忆方法在词汇学习过程的实际应用，用以解决学生词汇记忆的问题，提高词汇学习效率。
