Vocabulary teaching is an integral part of foreign language. Its efficiency is directly related to the development of the learners’ communicative competence. But with the traditional teaching methods, many students especially middle school students could not understand and use English words appropriately after learning English for many years. The reason is that the students only remember the connotative word meanings, which are usually mentioned on the textbooks or in the dictionaries. However, the same English word may mean differently in different contexts, for the same word may bear different associative meanings.
