Generally speaking, strategies are the tools applied for participation in learning a skill or subject. Vocabulary learning strategies are the tools utilized in the task of learning vocabulary in the target language. They can be employed in all kinds of tasks. Hosenfeld’s(1984) list of strategies of successful readers includes a few vocabulary learning strategies, such as guessing a word’s meaning from the context, identifying the grammatical category of a word, looking up words or recognizing cognates. By the same token, general learning strategies, such as planning or assessment of learning, can be used in vocabulary learning.  \nVocabulary is typically taught in lists and a high priority is given to accuracy and the ability to construct correct sentences in the Grammar-Translation Approach. Prabhu mentions that traditionally, English was taught by the grammar translation method. In the late 1950s, structurally graded syllabi were introduced as a major innovation into the state systems for teaching English (10). The idea was that the teaching of language could be systematized by planning its inputs, just as the teaching of a subject such as arithmetic or physics could be. The structural approach was sometimes implemented as the direct method, with an insistence on monolingual English classrooms.  \nBy the late 1970s, however, the Behavioral-psychological and philosophical foundations of the structural method had yielded to the cognitive claims of Chomsky for language as a “mental organ”. There was also dissatisfaction within the English teaching profession with the structural method, which was seen as not giving the learners language that was “deployable” or usable in real situations, in spite of an ability to make correct sentences in classroom situations.  \nIn retrospection, the structural approach as practiced in the classroom led to a fragmentation and trivialization of thought by breaking up language in two ways: into structures, and into skills. The formfocused teaching of language aggravated the gap between the learner’s “linguistic age” and “mental age” to the point where the mind could no longer be engaged. The emphasis thus shifted to teaching language use in meaningful contexts.  \nBritish linguists argue that something more than grammatical competence was involved in language use; the term “communicative competence” was introduced to signify this extra dimension. The attempt to achieve communicative competence assumes the availability of a grammatical competence to build on, and indeed the communicative method succeeds best in the initial stage, introducing variety and learner involvement into classrooms where both teachers and learners have confidence in their knowledge of the language, acquired through exposure. However, for the majority of learners, the issue is not so much communicative competence as the acquisition of a basic or fundamental competence in the language (13) .  \nLater, input-rich theoretical methodologies such as the Whole Language, the Task-Based, and the Comprehensible Input and Balanced approaches aim at exposure to the language in meaning-focused situations so as to trigger the formation of a language system by the mind.  \nIt is said that some deliberate learning strategies such as word part psychoanalysis, learning using word  \nISSN: 2471-7576 (Online) ©Center for Promoting Education and Research (CPER) USA, [www.ijhassnet.com](www.ijhassnet.com)  \ncards, and dictionary use are also valuable shortcuts as far as learning vocabulary and vocabulary growth are concerned","cbCais5drKFk9Ns8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais5drKFk9Ns8","pdf",33348,"English","# Vocabulary learning strategies\n## Strategies of successful readers and general learning strategies\n## From grammar-translation and structural methods to cognitive claims\n## Communicative competence and input-rich approaches\n## Deliberate strategies and classroom issues\n## Approaches to vocabulary teaching: incidental, explicit, and independent development","[{\"question\":\"What are vocabulary learning strategies according to the paper?\",\"answer\":\"Vocabulary learning strategies are tools utilized for learning vocabulary in the target language.
