Abstract

Vocabulary learning has a high level of effect on English language understanding and learning with regard to 4 skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. A lack of vocabulary knowledge causes learners to have difficulties in learning English. Learners should have necessary vocabulary of at least 2,000 words for proper comprehension of English. Learners need to be educated with vocabulary learning strategies, especially memorization and note taking. By using a memorization strategy, the learners should focus on words they are interested in or words that are related to their job. These word stocks should be repeatedly memorized and repeated them over and over for storing in long-term memory. Memorizing words aloud yields better results than memorizing words silently. Meanwhile, note taking is a beneficial strategy for reviewing, retrieving, and memorizing the words as well as in using words in sentence patterns.
