Almost all of the students 98 mentioned that they use the words that they have learned, it shown on table 1c number 7. One reason for doing so could be because they did
not only look at the meaning of the word but also at how the word was used 95 from table 1c number 8. It proves that the learners well-practiced in learning vocabulary by recalling the
meaning that they have learned for understanding the meaning 100 from table 1c number 9. Besides, they also revise the new words that they have learned 93 on table 1c number
6. Even though, there are four different factors in this strategy, but again the number of results is not quite different. Overall, these findings have high percentages and positively
responded by those each factor has 90 up.

In terms of self initiation strategies, these students 90 responded positively to think about their progress in vocabulary learning Table 2a, number 10 as well as demonstrating
initiation to find out about the new words that they have learned 86 on table 2a number 11. But seems to be there some 14 who are not concerned about finding more than they should
on a particular word. It was also discovered that when it came to examinations, 59 Table 2a, number 12 responded that they would not just focus on things that were related to exams.
On the other hand, there was still a number 41 who responded otherwise. This finding could indicate that students are still to be influenced by examinations.

2 The data above revealed that the students can identify which words are relevant for them
to know. In most cases, these words would refer to terms in relation to their course context extrinsic motive. In addition, they 79 also focused on other words which were of interest
to them Table 2b, number 14, maybe not so much related to their course context, but for them 75 to know more about the vocabulary intrinsic motive from table 2b number 13.
Furthermore, there was also some initiative to note down these words for further reference 84 from table 2b number 15. This showed tremendous effort to improve their vocabulary
knowledge.
