Abstract | This study was conducted to identify the Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) utilised by 36 Band 5 students as well as 31 Band 3 and below students. This study was vital to look into the similarities and differences in the VLS employed by high and low proficient students as well as to reveal the most useful strategies for vocabulary learning to boost students' level of proficiency. The VLS-Q (Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire; Schmitt, 1997) was utilised in this study. The results of this study showed that high proficient students used the 'English language media' as the most frequent strategy employed. Nonetheless, low proficient students tend to employ the strategy of 'asking classmates for meaning'. Strategies from the Memory and Determination categories were the most frequently employed by high and low proficient learners respectively. Implications of the results and suggestions were discussed which are noteworthy in improving vocabulary size and knowledge. (As Provided). |
