Memory plays a vital role in the process of English vocabulary memorizing. Nevertheless, vocational college students often find it hard to retain their memories over long periods of time despite having tried many ways to enhance their memories. In fact, English vocabulary memorizing has become a serious problem for most vocational college students in China for lack of efficient methods and consciousness of overcoming forgetting phenomenon. Under the guidance of psychological experiments and theories of forgetting, this paper presents an analysis of the factors worsening forgetting phenomenon in English vocabulary memorizing from the aspects of both students and teachers, based on a survey carried out in Leshan Vocational and Technical College. Finally, this paper puts forward some solutions aiming to decrease the students’ English vocabulary forgetting rate and improve their efficiency of memorizing English vocabulary.
