speaking, listening, reading and writing all together. In order to communicate
well in a foreign language, students should acquire an adequate number of words

simple. Because the students must
understand not only the meaning of the words, but also must know how to
pronounce and use it contextually. The biggest problem in learning vocabulary

has different characteristics, interest, and ability. Consequently, they have different
learning strategies that are suitable with them. That’s why learning strategies

themselves understand and remember vocabulary in easier, and joyful ways by
using their own ways. So, the learners can take more control of their own learning so
that they can take more responsibility for their own learning. Consequently,
they can become good language learners.
