A set questionnaire and some interview sessions were used to collect data for this study. The samples involved were 100 third-year students of a B.

The main objectives of this research are to identify students' awareness of Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS), their preferences in using Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS), as well as their perceptions towards the usage of Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) in their Second Language Learning. The findings revealed that nearly half of the participants are currently using VLS in their Second Language Learning and that they show positive feedback towards the usage of VLS in their Second Language Learning.
