| description | This study aims to investigate the vocabulary
learning strategies used by Arabic learners of the
International Islamic University Malaysia. It also
compares between the Arabic and non-Arabic
majoring students in the use of these strategies.
The total sample of this study was 248 university
students from different level of studies. They
answered a ‘Vocabulary Learning Strategies
Questionnaire’ by Pavicic Takac (2008) which
consisted of three different components: Formal
strategies, self-initiated independent strategies
and incidental strategies. Results indicated that
Arabic learners used a variety of vocabulary
learning strategies with translation being
the most widely employed. No statistically
significant difference was found between the
Arabic and non-Arabic majoring students. The
findings provide support for helping the students
to utilize their mother tongue in a fruitful way to
learn new vocabularies, as well as training both
groups equally on how to use these strategies
efficiently. |
