ab: Summary: This research is aimed to test whether presentation of
    metaphorical connections among senses of words is significantly
    effective to improve non-English majors’ memory of new words. Three
    experiments were conducted after pilot teaching and a pretext, in which
    two meanings of each word (totally 30 words) were offered to the EG and
    CG respectively through the proposed approach and traditional approach,
    then subjects received a post test and a one-week delayed test after
    each experiment. Subsequently an interview was held about practicality
    and interestingness of the vocabulary teaching method. Qualitative
    analyses (spss15.0 was used) indicate that there is significant
    difference between the t-test mean scores of EG and those of CG. The
    results of interview show that most subjects in EG think the proposed
    approach is feasible and interest-motivating, because metaphor offers
    them clues in word recollection.
