| description |
Previous studies conducted in the field of learning AFL or ASL, especially in Malaysia, have found
that the most frequent problem faced by learners is vocabulary learning. Consequently, vocabulary learning
strategies (VLS) have proven to be one of the solutions to this problem. Studies have been carried out on VLS
among Arabic learners. However, these studies are restricted to learners majoring in Arabic, leaving the
non-Arabic majors out. Thus, this study aims to investigate the vocabulary learning strategies used by Arabic
and non-Arabic majors at the International Islamic University Malaysia. A sample of 311 students from both
groups answered the ‘Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire’ by Takac (2008). The study found no
significant difference between the Arabic and non-Arabic majors and the spontaneous strategies. Several
implications are discussed in light of the results. |
