Yu, Xi. Ph.D., GSC in EL

Abstract

This study focuses on investigating English vocabulary learning strategies utilized by Grade 9 middle school students in Changsha District, Hangzhou City. The research aims to address two primary questions: 1) What are the most employed English vocabulary learning strategies by these students? 2) Which strategies are least utilized? The study involves 180 participants, spanning first-year to third-year students, who completed a questionnaire survey to contribute valuable insights for educators and learners. The results indicate that, among Cognitive, Cognitive, Memory, Resource, and Flexible use Strategies, Cognitive Strategies were most frequently employed, while Flexible use Strategies were least utilized. The study recommends promoting the use of more Flexible use strategies, encouraging exposure to learned English words across listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities.

Keywords: Chinese middle school students, Vocabulary Learning Strategies; Students in middle school; Questionnaire; Hangzhou City.
