Cognitive psychology inherits and develops traditional psychology and plays an important role in the study of Chinese vocabulary teaching. However, through literature review, the author found that there is almost no research on vocabulary learning of overseas students in Kunming under cognitive psychology. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a cognitive psychological study of Chinese vocabulary learning strategies for overseas students in Kunming, explore new educational methods combined with the actual teaching needs, and further develop the teaching of Chinese vocabulary. Based on this background, this paper mainly adopts the method of questionnaire survey and interview, takes the Chinese teachers and overseas students in four universities in Kunming as the research object, draws out the main problems existing in the teaching of Chinese vocabulary for overseas students in Kunming from the perspectives of teachers and students respectively, and puts forward relevant suggestions on teaching and learning according to the summarized problems.
