Thus, this study investigates the types of vocabulary memorization strategies employed by the Arab students in the Intensive English course at UUM. The aims of the study were to investigate vocabulary memorization strategies used by the Arab students and to examine the most and the least frequent strategies employed by the Arab students in learning and memorizing vocabulary. The samples of the study were 65 postgraduate Arab students from different colleges; COB, CAS and COLGIS at UUM. One instrument was used in this study, which is a questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted from Li (2004) which is based on Oxford’s taxonomy (2003) . The results indicated that the Arab students use different strategies in learning and memorizing vocabulary. Reviewing well strategies were found to be the most preferred strategies in contrast with Employing actions which was found to be as the least category employed by the Arab students. Writing words repeatedly a strategy from Reviewing well category was found to be the most strategy used by the Arab students in the Intensive English course while the Associate sounds of words with similar English from Employing actions category was the least strategy used by them. The findings revealed that Arab students see vocabulary memorization strategies help them in learning the English language and consistent with their cultural and educational background.  \nKeywords: vocabulary memorization strategies, UUM, Intensive English course, Arab students  \n1. Introduction  \nThe recognition of the role of vocabulary in learning languages has continued to grow in the last years, because of its importance in learning the second/foreign language. Many strategies are distinguished and established lately, when researchers and teachers make their goals in learning the languages to be easier, faster, enjoyable, and more selfdescribed (Oanh and Hien, 2006) . Vocabulary is a very important component of language learning and the development of learning vocabulary is generally considered as a decisive part of language competence by the researchers of both first and second language (Heidari, Karimi and Imani, 2012) . Since memorizing vocabulary plays a major role in the process of vocabulary learning, different strategies in learning and memorizing vocabularies are established by researchers in order to facilitate learning and memorizing the vocabulary. Memorization is the most accessible means of possessing knowledge and it is also a crucial characteristic of knowledgeable and intellectual personalities (Yusuf, 2010) . Some learners use memorization as their learning styles in learning language and see this method as an effective tool in mastering the new knowledge. Ellis (1994) and Fan (2003) have indicated that learning environments and cultures can affect the selection of learning and memorizing vocabulary strategies. Therefore, it can be seen that most of EFL learners use memorization strategies as their learning style in","cbCaim5IfkoDjW7J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim5IfkoDjW7J","pdf",320533,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# 1.
