| dc.description.abstract | Vocabulary plays an important role in language learning so that learning
vocabulary is necessary to fluently use the language. However, English vocabulary
mastery is still considered as a difficult thing for English as a Foreign Language
(EFL) learners because English is neither their mother tongue nor their daily
language. In consequence, EFL learners need some strategy to advance their
English vocabulary. In this study, the researcher attempted to focus on Vocabulary
Learning Strategies (VLS) by EFL learners. The objective of this study is to
investigate the Vocabulary Learning Strategies among English Language Education
undergraduate students in an Indonesia University. This study is a quantitative
study which employs surveys as the research design. An adopted Vocabulary
Learning Questionnaire (VLQ) by Gu (2018), which contains metacognitive and
cognitive categories, was administered to 212 undergraduate students (i.e., 146
females and 66 males). The overall results revealed that, in this study, the most
commonly used strategy is dictionary use (M=4.08). The least commonly used
strategy is rehearsal strategy (M=3.44). | en_US |
