The uneven English proficiency level among college students can lead to a lack of confidence and a passive learning process, especially for those with weak foundations. However, applying cognitive psychology principles in college English teaching can optimize the teaching mode and create a high-quality classroom atmosphere. By stimulating students’ enthusiasm through practical activities, respecting and encouraging their learning, teachers can improve the quality of teaching. This empirical study offers a comprehensive exploration of the relevance of cognitive psychology in college English teaching. It discusses the challenges faced by college students in learning English due to uneven proficiency levels and passive attitudes towards learning. The paper also introduces innovative teaching models and strategies that can optimize the learning experience and improve teaching quality. By addressing these challenges and providing effective solutions, the paper aims to enhance students’ English proficiency and overall learning outcomes. The implementation of cognitive psychology in English teaching is expected to create a positive classroom atmosphere, promote student engagement and motivation, and ultimately lead to continued improvement in the students’ English level.

Since Friends released in 1994, it has been the most welcomed TV series in the world. In this sitcom, characters lines are closed to peoples daily life, so it can be treated as an audiovisual aid in English vocabulary teaching and learning. Current vocabulary learning methods mainly focus on rote learning, which is inefficient for college students to comprehensively memorize and use words, thus, vocabulary learning should be combined with contexts, which can be provided by Friends. The paper will analyze lexical phenomena in lines of Friends on the basis of the context theory. It can be found that with the help of the contexts, offered by lines of the series, college students, to some extends, have access to changeable and complex meanings of words, as well as cultural connotations of culture-loaded words. Based on the limitations of this method, some humble suggestions will be offered. For teachers, it should be firstly considered that how to choose teaching materials. In the process of teaching, it may be advisable to assign a learning task in advance of playing the clips, and ask children to organize their notes with the plots of series after class. For self-learners, students should have self-discipline to focus on the English subtitles instead of the plots of series, and then remember to write down notes and memorize them again and again.
