Abstract

The purpose of this study was to 1) investigate English vocabulary learning strategies employed by the first, second, and third-year students at Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University under the Royal Patronage, and 2) compare the use of vocabulary learning strategies among those three groups of students. This is a quantitative research study. The instrument for obtaining the data was a questionnaire adapted from Schmitt’s taxonomy (1997). The sample for this study consisted of 330 students. The results of the study revealed that of all the groups of strategies, overall, determination strategies were employed the most by the respondents. In addition, the comparison of the vocabulary learning strategies used among those three groups of students showed that there were no significant differences except for the determination strategies that were used significantly less by the second year students.
