Abstract

This study investigates undergraduate English students' vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) in Indonesia and Pakistan considering contextual differences in education and culture. A quantitative descriptive method was used to gather data from 114 students from seven universities through a closed-ended questionnaire. Based on Gu and Johnson's (1996) model and the questionnaire by Goundar (2019), the questionnaire categorized VLS into four groups: meta cognitive, cognitive, memory, and activation strategies. Data analysis using SPSS included descriptive statistics, normality tests, independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Kruskal-Wallis analysis. The results revealed significant differences in the use of all four VLS categories between Indonesian and Pakistani students. Large effect size also indicate a strong differences. Both groups predominantly chose cognitive strategies despite the sociolinguistic differences where English functions as an ESL in Pakistan and EFL in Indonesia, as revealed by the Kruskal-Wallis analysis. This finding implies that certain vocabulary learning strategies can transcend language status and cultural context. The study suggests the need to expand the use of activation techniques to language learning materials in order to enhance students' vocabulary acquisition.
