Abstract

The goal of the study is to explore Vocabulary Learning Strategies used by Bangladeshi undergraduate EFL learners. The survey was conducted among 70 undergraduate BBA major students of United International University, a private university in Bangladesh. A 45 item-Vocabulary Learning Strategies questionnaire was used as the research tool. The finding reveals that, Bangladeshi undergraduate EFL learners highly use determination strategies and moderately use social, memory, cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies. Among them cognitive strategy is least used. The study also discovered that, these learners make little changes in their strategy uses at different proficiency levels. Considering the findings, the researcher has pointed out some implications for teaching VLS. It has also offered some suggestions regarding more effective use of Vocabulary Learning Strategies by Bangladeshi undergraduate EFL learners.
