This paper focuses on the role of vocabulary in second language learning with reference to the teaching of English language to learners at tertiary level in Saudi Arabia. As we are well aware that English language is the demand of the contemporary times, a large number of people around the world are rather bound to learn English for different reasons. The learning of any second language hugely relies on vocabulary. Keeping the relevance of English in view, the Saudi government implemented English language courses in almost all the levels and domains of education. Therefore, it is expected from the language instructors that they will provide an environment within the classrooms in which learners can acquire the targeted language easily. Therefore, this paper also explores the perception and role of English teachers in the attainment process of Vocabulary learning goals in English language classrooms. The study is exploratory in nature, and it utilizes qualitative analysis. The finding will lead to improvement on the curriculum design, contents selection and teaching styles.

Everything students learn, is highlighted by some sort of strategy. This includes students and their vocabulary learning.Vocabulary learning is an essential part in foreign language learning as the meanings of new words are very often emphasized, whether in books or in classrooms. It is also central to language teaching and is of paramount importance to a language learner. There are many factors that can potentially influence vocabulary learning, which makes research on this topic as it relates to English as a foreign language (EFL) vocabulary learning diverse and abundant. This study aims to investigate the effect of a group of Umm Al-Qura University preparatory year (first year) learners' attitude and evaluation of some strategies on their L2 vocabulary learning. It also discusses the effect of the usage of these strategies on EFL learners' learning process.

For a long time now, the teaching and learning of L2 vocabulary has been underrated in second language acquisition (SLA). However, in the last three decades, there has been a reemergence of interest in this field and different proposals and perspectives have arisen that strengthen and encourage due attention. The purpose of this paper was to inquire into the effectiveness of the implementation of an array of vocabulary tasks to facilitate vocabulary acquisition. Three teachers of English at a private secondary school in Mar del Plata, Argentina, participated in this action research. Data were gathered by means of field notes, teaching activities, self-assessment reports and evaluation meetings. The results obtained shed some light on L2 vocabulary teaching and some new viewpoints are discussed that could help other language teachers develop conceptual knowledge to tackle lexical instruction. The decision to embark on this action research study led these three teachers to reflect upon their own teaching practice with regard to L2 vocabulary instruction and thus take cognizance of the importance of the inclusion of L2 vocabulary teaching on a regular basis in their classes. Finally, some suggestions for further research in this area were given.

Vocabulary teaching is an important and indispensable part of any language teaching process. In fact the greatest tools we can give students not only in their education but more generally in life is a large and rich vocabulary. However, most students have difficulties in both understanding the relation between the different parts of a text and in speaking and communicating in English. This research focuses on the vocabulary teaching strategies that EFL teachers use while teaching vocabulary in order to enrich the students’ vocabulary knowledge. In addition, the objective of this work is to explore the different vocabulary learning strategies EFL students use when studying English as a foreign language in order to increase their lexical competence. The method used in this study is quantitative by means of interviews and questionnaires, interview for teachers and questionnaire for students in the Department of Foreign Languages at Ahmed SALHI University center of Naama . A random sample of thirty six students answered the questionnaire and eight teachers answered the interview. The results obtained revealed that EFL teachers use various vocabulary teaching strategies to a high extent and EFL students utilize vocabulary learning strategies to a medium extent.

This research is conducted on theoretical model on the strategies of learning vocabulary employed on Saudi school Malaysia targeting secondary students. Thus, this research aims to measure students’ motivation, language learning environment attitudes and beliefs on the light of the previous related literature especially the challenges reported in previous models and theories. A quantitative method was followed in this research. As for the main tool of data collection, a questionnaire was distributed among 105 students. The data obtained from the questionnaire was analyzed using AMOSSEM. In particular, the SEM was used for the independent variables which were dependent in a subsequent dependent relationship. It was found out that SSM students do face challenges in terms of vocabulary learning in the different stages of their learning. Regardless of the challenges students face, the current research found out that the majority of them involved in this research understand the importanc...

Vocabulary is one of the basic units of any language. No language can be taught effectively without its vocabulary. So, vocabulary is the soul of language or we can say it is the heart of language. As in human body heart supplies the blood to whole of the body in the same way vocabulary provides important elements for the comprehension of global understanding through the languages. A learner or a teacher should have a wide range of vocabulary command for easy communication. It is difficult to communicate ideas without a good range of vocabulary. Every language has vocabularies. Without vocabularies we cannot produce any language of the world. Now-a-day, English is the commanding and main communication language of the world. In this competitive world using the English language means the difference between success and failure of the learners’ level. So vocabulary is designed for the candidates who plan to sit for any competitive examination like Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS), Interna...

This study is dedicated to the research of vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) employed by a group of Saudi Arabian learners in an EFL (English as a foreign language) context. The rationale for the study is to clarify a pronounced lack of research on the EFL context in Saudi Schools Abroad (SSA), and a dearth of prior research into VLSs in this context. In particular, this research intends to explore how do students at Saudi School Malaysia (SSM) employ VLSs in their actual learning process. Therefore, this study is conducted on cognitive theory of learning studies, the mental processes involved in the learning process. Moreover, this study conducted an analysis of studies dedicated to VLSs through secondary students at Saudi school in Malaysia based on previous research problems of models and theories. In addition, this study applied quantitative approach, and the questionnaire was conducted using 105 students. The results of this study revealed the percentage and frequency have ...
