Briefly speaking, Nation (2001) proposes that a large number of vocabulary learning strategies are helpful at all steps of vocabulary learning and can be used to an extensive range of vocabulary. He points to the fact that language learners by help of these strategies can control their own learning without presence of a teacher. In addition, Nation, in his research, reveals that learners are very different in the proficiency that they apply strategies with. Thus, language learners should be instructed in use of vocabulary learning strategies.
