Abstract
The study investigates students’ perceptions and students’ use of vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) among non-English majors at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH). Three main issues addressed are (1) to determine students’ perception in terms of their awareness and the level of the importance of vocabulary learning strategies; (2) students’ use in terms of frequency and preference; (3) the correlation between students’ perception in terms of the level of the importance of vocabulary learning strategies and their use in terms of frequency. Mixed method is applied in this investigation; additionally, questionnaires focus on social group, memory group, cognitive group, and metacognitive group with 350 sophomores from four different majors, and 10 sophomores are invited in structured interview. The results showed that the vocabulary learning strategies of the current study were well-aware. All those strategies were perceived importantly in learning vocabulary and four groups of vocabulary were used frequently. Students’ responses in terms of preference also confirmed students’ use in terms of frequency. On the other hand, students’ perception correlated with students’ use in only cognitive group of vocabulary learning strategies, but not the three others.
