vocabulary learning strategies they might use in order to improve their own vocabulary size. Cohen 2002 suggest that strategy training should be integrated
into the language curriculum under the guidance of the teacher and should be implemented into the language lessons in forms of various activities and tasks
where a wide range of strategies are practiced.
Furthermore, social strategies are recommended to be highlighted in teaching and learning vocabulary as it has a possitive correlation with students’ vocabulary
size. This training also helps shift the role from teachers to the students, in which, as stated in Nation’s 2008 Four-Strands Approach, the teacher’s main job
involves planning lessons and training students’ vocabulary learning strategies, while the students’ main jobs are to take active responsibility for their own
vocabulary learning.
Finally, training program should contain few steps such as: identifying student population and their needs, introducing strategies, practicing using different
strategies and designing appropriate classroom activities.
5.2.2. For Further Researchers
This research was limited by the sample size. So the result should not be generalized into all contexts of situation since this result was probably compatible
in certain field but not in the others. Therefore, further research on vocabulary learning strategies should try to investigate with random subjects, bigger sample
size in order to get more reliable on the result of the research.
Further research will be better to conduct deep investigation on the process of vocabulary learning strategies by adding variables such as learning style,
motivation, attitude towards English.
