Learning strategies and self-regulation in vocabulary acquisition: a research project about EFL learners study experience and achievement

Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades / Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Inglesa / Much of the research work concerning vocabulary learning strategies use confirms the usefulness these strategies have for learners. Relatively recent work on educational psychology has pointed out the influence of learners’ self-regulatory capacity on their performance. The present cross sectional research examines first year undergraduate students’ vocabulary proficiency; identifies their use of strategies and their level of self-regulation. It also seeks to respond if first year students use vocabulary learning strategies, and if there is any relationship among the use of strategies, self-regulation and success in vocabulary acquisition. Results suggest that, in fact, there is a connection in the use of strategies and the level of success. They also indicate that self-regulation enhances the use of learning strategies.
