Schmitt (1997),in his survey, investigated use of vocabulary learning strategies, usefulness of these strategies and specification of the most useful ones on 600 Japanese EFL students. Using a bilingual dictionary,written repetition,verbal repetition,saying a new word aloud,studying spelling of a word,and taking notes in class were found as most used and most helpful ones.The results showed that dictionary strategies and repetitions were used more by Japanese learners while imagery and semantic grouping strategies were used fewer by the learners. Furthermore, word forms and mechanical memory strategies were emphasized by the learners of this study.
