Vocabulary is one of the three basic elements of a language. However, in many senior high schools, in the actual practice of senior high school English teaching, vocabulary teaching is not fully valued as it should be. Not only are teachers’ teaching methods simple and single, but also students are still given priority to memorize vocabulary by rote. The schema theory combines the known knowledge structure in people's brain with the new knowledge system to complete knowledge input. The purpose of this thesis is to apply schema theory to English vocabulary teaching in senior high school, so that students can learn to connect new concepts with their known knowledge to get familiar with the meaning of words and various uses of words, so as to help students expand their existing vocabulary.
