| Summary: | For an effective English learning process, learners have to be familiar with their way of
learning. Strategies to learn vocabulary learning are essential in order for the learners to
acquire new lexical items in English language. The aim of this paper is to describe English
vocabulary learning strategies used by FELDA primary school students. The methodology
used for the study is based on a quantitative approach. Thirty-six pre-UPSR students from a
selected primary in one of the FELDA settlements in Pahang represent the study sample. A
25-items questionnaire adopted from Schmitt’s taxonomy for vocabulary learning strategies
is used to collect data. Data is analysed using descriptive statistics. The mean score obtained
shows that students from the selected settlements seldom applied vocabulary learning strategies. The highest frequency of strategies are Determination strategies while the lowest
frequency strategies are Social (consolidation) strategies. The research findings could be
regarded as useful guide for teachers in order to implement effective English Language
teaching process and to raise learners’ awareness towards effective vocabulary learning
strategies. |
