When tackling with language learning, it is needless to emphasize the noteworthiness and the importance of vocabulary in this process. Appertaining to technical terminology, this plays entirely pertinent. Various studies have concluded that vocabulary notebooks (henceforth VN) efficiently expose different learners’ strategies within this single strategy, which led us to research VN. These research data were obtained mainly by applying the observational research technique, a vocabulary oral and written exam, and a comprehensive questionnaire on the effectiveness of the Vocabulary Notebook. Mechanical Engineering, Textile Engineering, and Hydrotechnical Engineering students at the Polytechnic University of Tirana were selected to obtain the data. The observation is partly overt and partly covert. Students of Mechanical Engineering and Textile Engineering (75 students) are the treatment group wherein the Mechanical Engineering students are an overt group and the Textile Engineering students serve as the covert observational group while on the other hand, the Hydrotechnical Engineering (45 students) students are the control group. The data were obtained during and at the end of the semester. Throughout the observation all along the 1st semester, it was perceived that most of the students organized their VN by utilizing mainly Microsoft Word downloaded on their Smart Phones, while the rest used the traditional paper notebook to organize their technical VN. The organization of the VN reflected the strategies each of the students implemented to learn technical terminology. At the end, students were tested on their acquired terminology through an oral and a shortwritten exam and then a questionnaire was handed to them. The students of the overt group making use of a digitalized form of a Notebook resulted to have acquired most of the technical vocabulary. In the main, the overt group outperformed the covert group on the acquisition of technical vocabulary, while the control group’s score on the oral exam was significantly below, compared to the all-inclusive treatment group. Students’ questionnaire revealed that overall students had a positive approach to this strategy and they embraced the autonomy acquired throughout the semester by implementing this strategy. With the exception of the effectiveness on vocabulary acquisition, which was on higher levels, this strategy proved itself once again to be an enhancer and promoter of learner autonomy.  \nKeywords: vocabulary notebooks, autonomous learning, technical terminology List of Abbreviations: VN–Vocabulary Notebook, ME – Mechanical Engineering, TE– Textile Engineering  \n∗Lecturer, Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania.  \n±Lecturer, Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania.  \nIntroduction  \nVocabulary is essential apropos of communication be it spoken or written, but its significance and importance is indispensable when dealing with English for Specific Purposes (ESP). As future professionals, for the purpose of understanding the meaning of the terms, be it while reading or listening to certain content with technical terminology, a considerable receptive vocabulary (professional and scientific papers or books, etc.) is needed, while on the other hand in order to express themselves writing or speaking (drafting reports, making presentations of certain projects, etc.), professionals will need an appreciable expressive vocabulary.
