The connection between vocabulary size and vocabulary learning strategies: a case study of English as foreign language learners at UD-UFLS
Abstract
Undoubtedly, the significance of employing effective strategies for vocabulary acquisition in language learning cannot be overstated. Following this, the authors' research delves into the potential relationship between vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) and the vocabulary size of undergraduate students at the University of Danang - University of Foreign Language Studies (UD-UFLS). This study has three primary objectives: firstly, to gather and analyze the diverse strategies employed by undergraduate students for acquiring new English vocabulary; secondly, to examine the vocabulary size of these university students; and finally, to investigate the impact of VLS on the overall vocabulary size of the learners. Through this comprehensive approach, the authors' aim to gain deeper insights into the dynamic interplay between strategies and vocabulary knowledge, ultimately serving as a foundation for students at the university to make well-informed choices as they embark on their language -learning journey.
