Abstract Vocabulary plays an important role in language learning. Words have the significance of the smallest units of language, as bricks are the smallest units of buildings. Human thinking and the exchange of ideas are the first to rely on vocabulary. Expanding the vocabulary size is one of the main tasks for college students in English learning, especially the Non-English majors. When Non-English majors talk about learning vocabulary, they feel that it is a headache to remember them, because of their special characters such as their poor English foundation, lack of good study habits and shortage of proper vocabulary learning strategies. Therefore, it is extremely necessary for Non-English majors to develop some suitable vocabulary learning strategies.

60 sophomore students, who come from Shanghai Institute of Technology School, participated in the research. The research would be conducted through three methods: questionnaire、test and personal interviews. Afterwards, the data would be collected and analyzed. The results prove that Non-English majors would benefit a lot in vocabulary learning after been trained by the associative strategies. It is in accordance with the hypotheses:
(1)With the associative strategies, Non-English majors in SIT feel easier to learn new words.
(2) With the associative strategies, they feel they could turn the short-memory into long memory in vocabulary learning.
(3) With the associative strategies, they feel it could help them expand their vocabulary sizes
Base on it, the author proposed some pedagogical enlightenment, including teaching words to students both in breadth and in depth.
In a word, associative strategy is an effective vocabulary learning strategy. The findings of the study provide a new perspective on vocabulary learning strategy, and meanwhile, the significance of the study can be viewed as a useful help step for further research.
Key Words: associative strategy, vocabulary learning, training
摘要
词汇在语言学习中起着重要作用。单词正如砌楼的砖石，是语言的基本组成单位。人们思考和交换想法首先通过的是词汇。扩大词汇量是大学生主要任务之一，尤其是对于非英语专业的大学生而言。当非英语专业的学生谈论到词汇学习时，因为他们英语学习基础差，没有养成良好的学习习惯和学习策略，他们会觉得这是一桩令人头疼的事儿。所以，非英语专业学生培养适合自己的词汇学习方法对他们来说十分重要。10560
近年来，国内外很多人对词汇学习策略做了探究。但是，这些探究大部分以英语专业学生为研究对象。与之相比，为非英语专业所做的词汇策略探究甚少。作为一名英语专业的学生，作者认为有必要为母校（上海应用技术学院）的非英语专业学生做一点儿贡献，探究适合他们的词汇学习策略。
上海应用技术学院的60名大二学生参与了这次研究。此项研究中运用到了3种方法：调查问卷、试卷测验和个人采访。实验结束后，进行了数据收集，并且加以分析。结果显示，非英语专业学生在受联想法训练后受益匪浅。结果和文章开头提出的设想一致：
（1） 上海应用技术学院非英语专业学生感觉词汇比以前好记了；
（2） 他们觉得这种方法可以帮助他们把短期词汇记忆变成长期记忆；
（3） 他们认为这种方法可以扩大他们的词汇量。
在此基础上，作者进一步分析、探究、总结了联想词汇记忆法在教学中的具体使用，提出从宽度和深度上学习词汇的想法。
总之，联想法是一种有效的词汇学习策略，本文的结论为研究词汇学习策略提供了新的视角，为以后的研究提供了一个有益的出发点。
