Utilising a quantitative research design, 384 students of Science and Non-Science streams from three different semesters (Semester 1, Semester 2 and Semester 3), were randomly chosen.

The findings also revealed that both Science and Non-Science students did not have similar level of vocabulary knowledge where Science students possess higher score, even though they shared similar preferable strategies in learning vocabulary.
