Abstract
Vocabulary acquisition is the process of learning words of a language. A learner needs to acquire a large number of vocabulary so that s/he could successfully communicate in a foreign language. The use of vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) helps the learners discover and consolidate the meaning of new words. Since the 1980’s many researchers have researched the use and effectiveness of vocabulary learning strategies. Some of them have made their own taxonomies. The most well-known taxonomy is Schmitt’s (1997) taxonomy which contains five different strategy categories: determination, social, memory, cognitive and metacognitive. An adapted version of this taxonomy was used for this study. This paper aims to investigate and compare the frequency of use and the perceived usefulness of vocabulary learning strategies in EFL of English and non-English majors in Croatia. The paper consists of two parts. The first part gives a theoretical overview of vocabulary and its acquisition, language learning strategies, vocabulary learning strategies and previous research on VLS. The second part shows the results of the research. 118 students participated in the research, 40 English majors and 78 non-English majors. A questionnaire with 46 strategies was administered among the participants. The results provide insight into the most used and most useful, as well as the least used and least useful strategies of English and non-English majors. The results show that both groups frequently use VLS and that they find them very useful.
Abstract (croatian)
Usvajanje vokabulara je proces učenja riječi nekog jezika. Učenik treba usvojiti velik broj vokabulara kako bi mogao uspješno komunicirati na stranom jeziku. Korištenje strategija učenja vokabulara pomaže učenicima u otkrivanju i učvršćivanju značenja novih riječi. Od 1980-ih mnogi su istraživači istraživali upotrebu i učinkovitost strategija učenja vokabulara. Neki od njih su napravili vlastite taksonomije. Najpoznatija taksonomija je Schmittova (1997) taksonomija koja sadrži pet različitih kategorija strategija: strategije samostalnog određivanja značenja, društvene strategije, strategije pamćenja, kognitivne strategije i metakognitivne strategije. Prilagođena verzija ove taksonomije je korištena za ovo istraživanje. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti i usporediti čestotnost uporabe i percipiranu korisnost strategija učenja vokabulara u engleskom kao stranom jeziku među hrvatskim studentima engleskog jezika i studentima drugih studija. Rad se sastoji od dva dijela. Prvi dio daje teorijski pregled vokabulara i njegovog stjecanja, strategija učenja jezika, strategija učenja vokabulara i prethodnih istraživanja o strategijama učenja vokabulara. Drugi dio prikazuje rezultate istraživanja. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 118 studenata, 40 studenata engleskog jezika i 78 studenata drugih studija. Studentima je dan upitnik koji je sadržavao 46 strategija, a njihov zadatak je bio označiti koliko često koriste određenu strategiju i označiti koliko je po njihovom mišljenju određena strategija korisna. Rezultati daju uvid u najčešće korištene i najkorisnije, kao i u najmanje korištene i najmanje korisne strategije studenata Engleskog jezika i studenata drugih smjerova. Rezultati pokazuju da obje grupe često koriste strategije učenja vokabulara i da ih smatraju vrlo korisnima.
