Abstract

Vocabulary is one of the most important language components in learning the English language. A vocabulary is several English words that are taught to students in the teaching and learning process which goes hand in hand with all four English skills, especially listening. By increasing vocabulary, students’ ability for better understanding in listening, speaking, reading, and writing will likely increase. The more they listen, the more words they will add to their mastering vocabulary. Moreover, many kinds of media may be used to exercise students’ ability nowadays, which include music, video, movies, etc. English movies can provide a great chance for students to learn English vocabulary by listening. This could happen because in watching movies students often hear new words that they may never hear before. The instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The result showed that by watching English Movie they could add some vocabularies to their memory through listening and watching the scene in the English Movie.

Abstract

This article aims at investigating the vocabulary learning strategies of EFL learners at tertiary level. Since the students are required to pass English as a required subject in Indonesian tertiary education, exploring vocabulary strategies attracts more attention from teachers and practitioners. A survey approach was carried out in conducting this research. The present study involved 120 non-English major participants to fill out a questionnaire consisting of four vocabulary learning strategies: cognitive, metacognitive, memory, and determination strategies. The data of this research were descriptively analysed to reveal the vocabulary learning strategies used by EFL learners at tertiary level. This study reveals that the cognitive strategy is the most frequently strategy used. The respondents use new words in a sentence to remember them from time to time. While the least frequently strategy used is making a mental image to remember the words. The findings of the study might give an insight for English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers and practitioners to consider changes and adjustments to their pedagogical practice.
