3. Results from Students’ Interview
In order to get more holistic understanding of students‟ Vocabulary Learning Strategies VLS in learning vocabulary adopted in IPALL, it is
necessary to discover students‟ background experience, action and intention . According to Catalan 2003 Vocabulary Learning Strategies VLS is a
knowledge about mechanism processes and strategies used in order to learn vocabualry as well as steps or actions taken by students. Therefore, in conducting
the interviews, the researcher uses Catalan‟s step in order to picture students‟ background experience, action and intention. Related to what Ellis 1994:529
states, the aspects in individual differences such as ; belief, affective states, general factors, and previous learning experiences together with the situational
factors determine the choice of learning strategies. Therefore, the previous or background learning experience affects students in selecting the best learning
strategies which is used in learning situation. Thirty indicators dealing with six vocabulary learning strategies from three
experts: Schmitt‟s Taxonomy, Gu and Johnson‟s Category, and Nation Taxonomy were asked to the interviewees. Those are determination, social, memory,
cognitive, metacognitive, and cognative. The complete transcribed of the interviews is presented in the appendices while some samples of the interview will
be presented in table 4.6. The data of interview are used in answering the second research question.
