learning strategy use by 100 students with different levels (50 from talented classes and 50 from other classes) enrolled at Nguyen Tat Thanh High School in Hanoi, directly under Vietnam National University of Education The study found a curvilinear relationship between strategy use and English proficiency which means the high achievers (subjects with higher proficiency than the others) prefer using more grouping strategy to consolidate new words and have their own management and planning strategies to work well The remaining gaps between almost subjects‘ strong perception about the usefulness level of several strategies and their factual implementation are due to the common issue from a large number of Vietnamese students called ―verbal passiveness‖ and the ―afraid-of-makingmistakes‖ learning style culture Hence, more vocabulary learning strategies should be introduced to learners and strategy training is essential for learning Choosing their own learning strategies according to their characteristics such as proficiency and learning style may be beneficial for learners It is high time for both learners and teachers to be mindful of the quality or depth of the learned vocabulary for the sake of achieving basic success in EFL learning, and also reach a general consensus on the learning goal during designing the course or curriculum iii

use English as the mother tongue and other countries learn it as second language in their schools; hence, undoubtedly, English constitutes the language of communication among people from different cultures Moreover, English is also used as the language of science, technology and computers that helps to integrate people around the world via Internet technology and emails Therefore, mastering a foreign language especially English is becoming strongly needed In reality, studying a language is inseparable from studying vocabulary because of the fact that the vocabulary as the focus of language is in words that sound and meaning interlock to help us communicate with one another and arrange together to make sentences, conversations, and discourse of all kinds Obviously, vocabulary is really important in every language skill as well as any language learning However, to study perfect English vocabulary is not easy In fact, students have difficulty in memorizing a new word with its meaning, spelling and pronunciation or often being confused with knowing how can apply grammar into sentences Moreover, day-by-day traditional teaching methods and similar activities make students become fed up with learning English; therefore, it is necessary to apply interesting techniques to teach English for the sake of fostering students to learn English vocabulary better The meaning variables are regarded as their biggest problem learners encounter in learning to use new words because each word contains more than one meaning while each of their meaning is included in the membership of an inter-related system; hence, it is highly required to reach the thorough knowledge of words for understanding the meaning of words and how to use them correctly For instance, if a speaker chooses to use one new word, the need is assigning the right meaning to the right word in the appropriate context but not in the surface positioning of the words nor their wide range of meaning Besides, sometimes negative interference in foreign language learning process is caused by mother tongue features due to learners accustomed to the rules and the ways of using mother tongue Moreover, the high influence of large class size and the lack of foreign language environment also generate many obstacles on the teaching method and learning style Often, new words in lessons and their related exercises are provided for students as a list of meanings or mostly but on non-context sentences; as a consequence, no idea of the

forces them to use the dictionary and look up words they are likely to need again It is an effective way to write a note to a friend, or recount a story An ultralingua dictionary on mobile devices is also a good choice for enhancing vocabulary learning Also, a favorite method is known as language exchange, for instance, getting together for coffee once a week, for an hour or so, with someone who wants to learn in learners‘ language, and has learners‘ target language (half the time in learners‘ language and half the time in the target language) Learners, during exchange times, are forced to dig deep in their own memory for words already known, at the same time, realize words never encountered; so they intend to check with their partner directly, with the bonus exercise of trying to explain the missing concept in the target language, or look it up in a dictionary (if neither knows), and keep talking to their partner for practice without being afraid to make mistakes or to forget a word The words will be burnt into their own memory For partner‘s turn come along with his/her vocabulary issues, learners could learn more words by having to help them Moreover, the interesting sources of new words are chatting with friends online or through phone, in which words come up in conversations are generally encountered again The role of learners and learner responsibility are shed light on the results of the study As demonstrated in recent research, learner initiative and independence are crucial factors in order to attain higher levels of achievement On the other hand, that more learners are aware of how learning is best carried out is more likely to foster the better learning For instance, knowing what vocabulary to learn, learners continue to increase their vocabulary size and enrich the words they already know Hence, besides what the teacher does or what the course book presents, it is ultimately important for the learner to the learning by themselves To building up the vocabulary, learners are highly recommended to set a goal for themselves with an attempt to learn three new words a week and work them into learners‘ speech and writing Conscious effort can help learners learn several thousands of new words to remember and use until it becomes a part of their vocabulary, which means they can use these words effectively and accurately in a sentence Actually, vocabulary should be dealt with by teachers in systematic and principled ways to prompt the learners to get the most benefit from the time spent and a rich environment to learn vocabulary in and outside class time An excellent source of increasing learners‘ word knowledge are word puzzles owing to the fact that the puzzle creators will often need to resort to an array of unusual words to ensure that the words fit into their puzzles and interesting for the puzzle doer Many varieties of vocabulary puzzles, including crosswords, find-a-word and 37

knowledge and also improve their critical thinking skills For word games, such games as Scrabble, Boggle, and Cranium are often used to extend learners‘ vocabulary To outline the appropriate vocabulary learning strategies, understanding the conception of vocabulary as a dynamic complex of knowledge plus skill plays an especially important role; because of the fact that within the multifaceted task of vocabulary learning, different dimensions of the lexicon lead to the demanding of different learning strategies; but strategies which are suitable for one dimension might not be suitable for another dimension More vocabulary learning strategies should be introduced to learners and strategy training is essential for learning Learners will have benefits to choose their own learning strategies according to their characteristics such as proficiency and learning style Teachers and learners should reach a general consensus on the learning goal when designing the course or curriculum It is crucial for learner initiative and independence to attain higher levels of their achievement Teachers also should deal with vocabulary in systematic and principled ways for learners to get the most benefit from the time-spending and provide a rich environment to learn vocabulary inside and outside class times All persons, either students or teachers, have their own learning style; therefore, no particular teaching or learning method can suit the needs of all learners due to the fact that learning styles exist on wide continuums Learning styles are considered value-neutral; because no one style is better than others Students should be encouraged to ―stretch‖ their learning styles in order to be more empowered in a variety of learning situations Creating a safe and comfortable environment in which all students feel recognized and valued is one of the most significant factors in encouraging motivation Many students will feel more comfortable participating in classroom activities as soon as they quite know their teacher and their peers after taking time to adjust themselves to a new setting Students provided with a learner-centered, low-anxiety classroom environment has a great language acquisition Personalizing the environment prompts students to relax and enhance the friendly atmosphere increasing their desire to learn and develop their language skills Greater motivation will be displayed by students feeling safe and comfortable and more secure taking chances to read aloud in class or write an essay without the fear of being criticized Talks also play an important role in teaching For example, children often talking to their parents on a range of topics tend to be absorbed with a much larger vocabulary than children from homes where talk is limited Hence, providing students with the same sort of highly interactive, language-rich environment as advantaged ones have at home assists them with 38

engaged in conversations on a wide range of topics, focused on the shades of meaning of interesting words in their daily interactions with text (both written and oral), and promoted a spirit of curiosity about words and the different meanings rooted in different contexts While teaching, including powerful, difficult words in their oral language and encouraging students to use those words in their speaking and writing are definitely helpful for increasing their own vocabulary One single most effective way is by maximizing the students‘ amount of reading An illustration is that students reading just 10 minutes a day outside of school reveal significantly higher rates of vocabulary growth than students almost not reading outside of school (Nagy & Anderson, 1984) Most importantly, the more reading, the more frequent encounters with words in different contexts, the better true word knowledge It is strongly necessary for students to encounter words repeatedly and in a range of contexts before these words become part of their working vocabulary due to the fact that they didn‘t really know and understand words only encountered times, but did know and understand words encountered 12 times (Mckeown, Beck, Omanson & Pople, 1985) Teachers can teach students using contexts by giving them texts with some unfamiliar words, asking them to circle the unknown words, guess the meanings, and explain about their guess, finally make a list on the board of the strategies they used How to use dictionaries to look up the meanings of unknown words such as using guide words, understanding parts of speech also should be taught and practiced for students during the study process Inexpensively small pocket dictionaries help provide a wealth of information and introduce multiple meanings of words Several defined meanings of a word relevant in a given passage will be practiced working out Such words used often or easily confused could be stuck in the classroom‘s word wall and added gradually (a few each week) Additionally, students should be provided with plenty of opportunities to speak and write such these words and by themselves choose a word and give clues about the word for other students to guess A sense of accomplishment constitutes a great factor in motivating students by giving positive feedback and reinforcement, which all can increase students' satisfaction and encourage positive self-evaluation These students will feel better to direct his or her own studies and learning outcomes because they are more affected by positive feedback and success Praise helps improve students' self-confidence, competence, and self-esteem Success can be achieved by setting their own goals and by directing their studies toward their own expectations, particularly determining their own language needs and defining why 39 (LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.of.english.vocabulary.learning.strategies.of.12th.graders.at.nguyen.tat.thanh.high.school.in.hanoi

having goals and expectations leads to increased motivation in turn leading to a higher level of language competences; hence, teachers should encourage students to have specific short-term goals such as communicating with English speakers or reading books in English Limitations of the study The data from the questionnaire, think-aloud tasks and the interviews perhaps will be self-reported by the participants Likewise, the protocols and interview data only help insights provided into the possible strategic behaviour of the high achievers This study on larger and different populations would be beneficial to be replicated in order to examine the dynamic and complex nature of vocabulary acquisition among L2 learners Future research might be useful into the degree to which teaching affixes is differentially beneficial for highproficiency level learners and low-proficiency level ones Schmitt (2008) claimed that there are two kinds of long-term memory: explicit memory and implicit memory Explicit memory supports recollection and implicit memory supports skills and habit learning Memory is a kind of storage If learners can arrange their storage space efficiently, perhaps the effects of learning vocabulary might be greater Suggestions for further researches Based on the current research, the most-used vocabulary learning strategies by the intermediate L2 learners and their perceptions of the usefulness of the strategies are investigated; more importantly, the researcher is enabled to closely examine the use and perception of strategies by the high achievers From a view to investigating language proficiency as one of the crucial factor to vocabulary learning, more research carried out among the high achievers in other high schools would be interesting In addition, for further vocabulary learning strategy research, cultural factors and pragmatic constraints should also be taken into account and, rather than finding universal ―good‖ strategies to discover vocabulary strategies which are applied for different groups of learners with different backgrounds and ability Methodologically, it is especially necessary to draw out longitudinal designs for the sake of the better vocabulary development as opposed to word list retention Furthermore, in vocabulary acquisition research in the linguistics tradition, vocabulary has been largely concentrated on (target: what is to be learned; or product: what is learned) rather than acquisition (how is vocabulary learned, the learning/ acquisition process); whereas most vocabulary acquisition research are conducted with experimental comparisons between some favored strategies and various combinations of control techniques Therefore, 40

for learners, especially experienced and successful ones, to be capable of managing their own learning and choosing their own strategies, but not be only on the receiving end In other words, systematic studies of the natural processes of vocabulary learning in authentic foreign language learning situations need to be conducted with the aim of identifying the whole range of vocabulary learning strategies, finding out what works and what does not work, and what distinguishes the successful from the unsuccessful learners Obviously, much knowledge is still remained to learn and explore in the field of vocabulary acquisition Most importantly, the language learners and teachers should work collaboratively towards the same learning goal 41
