Perceptions of the English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students’ Program Toward Vocabulary Learning Strategies

The objective of this research is to investigate the benefits received by international students at the English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students' program (ELICOS) of the University of Canberra College English Language Centre (UCCELC) in Australia in implementing Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS). The benefits are in terms of finding new vocabulary outside of the classroom, writing the words directly while encountering new words, making a connection for the meaning of the words, studying the aspects of the new words, rehearsing, saying the new words aloud and jotting the word down, getting an image of the first time they met the words, and using new vocabulary in daily conversation. A qualitative design was used to collect information from six international students from various nations, including Indonesia, China, the Philippines, and Japan, utilising interviews. The interview data were analysed and presented using qualitative research processes such as coding, grouping, argument creation, and drafting. The findings of this study demonstrated that students in the ELICOS program use a variety of vocabulary learning strategies, including cognitive, metacognitive, memory, and social strategies. Furthermore, all students reported that they gained a considerable beneficial impact on their language learning proficiency by applying behaviors of some particular vocabulary learning strategies These findings have significant implications for increasing the quality of language teaching and learning processes, as well as enriching the research repertory in the field of VLS.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the benefits received by international students at the English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students' program (ELICOS) of the University of Canberra College English Language Centre (UCCELC) in Australia in implementing Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS). The benefits are in terms of finding new vocabulary outside of the classroom, writing the words directly while encountering new words, making a connection for the meaning of the words, studying the aspects of the new words, rehearsing, saying the new words aloud and jotting the word down, getting an image of the first time they met the words, and using new vocabulary in daily conversation. A qualitative design was used to collect information from six international students from various nations, including Indonesia, China, the Philippines, and Japan, utilising interviews. The interview data were analysed and presented using qualitative research processes such as coding, grouping, argument creation, and drafting. The findings of this study demonstrated that students in the ELICOS program use a variety of vocabulary learning strategies, including cognitive, metacognitive, memory, and social strategies. Furthermore, all students reported that they gained a considerable beneficial impact on their language learning proficiency by applying behaviors of some particular vocabulary learning strategies These findings have significant implications for increasing the quality of language teaching and learning processes, as well as enriching the research repertory in the field of VLS.
