Abstract
Vocabulary
learning is one of the major challenges foreign language learners face during
the process of learning a language (Ghazal, 2007). One way to alley the problem
is to assist students in becoming independent learners during the course of L2
vocabulary learning. Furthermore, Ghazal (2007) explains that this could be
achieved through instructing learners to apply vocabulary learning strategies
as efficiently as possible.
This study has
reviewed significant literature and the importance of reviewing the literature
in the field was to realize the implications of our understanding of this
relevant literature for the study referred to in this paper. The definitions,
taxonomies and factors which pertain to language learning strategies and which
are present in the literature have clarified the concepts.
Furthermore,
this research brings to light the common strategies that learners use in
vocabulary learning. It also discusses the different strategies at length and
gives valuable recommendations and concludes with further research
implications.
