Results and Discussion
The section below present data analysis obtained from the questionnaire
1. Overall strategy use
The figure below represents the SILL findings for the use of strategies averaged over all 58 participants, from a possible lowest ranking of 1, to a highest possible of 4, as per the Likert
scale as previously mentioned:
Figure1. Strategy used by all participants
Figure 1 shows that the most commonly used type of strategies by the participants was the metacognitive strategy. Metacognitive strategies are those related to the learners self
monitoring, for example arranging and planning learning their own learning materials associated with vocabulary mastery. Referring to Oxfords result profile key, the number shows that it is
only moderately used by the students 3.38. On the second place, social strategies which

associated with the way learners socialize with other learners or native speakers in mastering new words rank on medium used by the participants 2.63. On the third place, determination
strategies which related with individual learning style placed on low rank 2.45. The next fourth place is memory strategies which ranked on low usage 2.4, this strategies deal with learners
background knowledge in order to master new vocabulary. The least used strategies are cognitive ones, which demand the learners to use any means they know to learn new vocabulary item. This
type of strategy is also ranked on low or generally not used as the two previous strategies I have mentioned 2.3.
This Figure.1 showed that the students‟ preference in using the strategies varied. Some
strategies such as metacognitive and social strategies have fair levels of use from the participants. The rest of them were low users of vocabulary learning strategy since the charts
generally are under 3.4 based on Oxford results profile key. It can also be concluded from the findings above Figure.1, although there are two strategies such as metacognitive and social
strategies that have fair number from participants preference but three of the strategies which consist of memory, cognitive and determination strategies are still unfavorable based on the data
on figure.1. It means that the students may still unfamiliar with the unfavorable strategies since from all of the strategies only two of most strategies are generally used and the rest of the three
are still never or almost never used based on Oxford results profile key.
