Conclusions
In the present study, vocabulary is seen as an important ingredient of language and vocabulary learning is an essential part of second or foreign language learning. Language learners need a wide variety of target language words to be able to tackle successfully both production and comprehension activities in the second or foreign language. One way to help learners to enhance their knowledge of L2 vocabulary is through equipping learners with a variety of vocabulary learning strategies
Recommendations
Firstly, teachers should introduce first year students to a variety of vocabulary learning strategies. This finding provides evidence that the use of vocabulary learning strategies might contribute to vocabulary learning. However, the results in the study also show that students did not use vocabulary learning strategies very often
Limitation and suggestions for further research
A number of limitations can be discerned in the study due to the time constraints and the researchers’ limited ability and experience. Firstly, mistakes could take place when researcher translated questionnaires into Vietnamese according to Schmitt’s taxonomy
