Abstract

As the English language became a global language for communication and trade, many studies were devoted to recognize how to teach/ learn this language properly and efficiently. One of the core elements to master this language is ‘vocabulary’. This research aims at discovering the common difficulties that most of students encounter while learning new vocabulary. It also intends to investigate the students’ attitudes towards many of the teaching strategies adopted by current teachers. The present study was undertaken in the department of English at the University of Oran 2. To profoundly examine the efficiency of vocabulary teaching strategies on students’ vocabulary development, this work was based on the analysis of a significant questionnaire administrated to second year EFL students. The findings revealed that the traditional vocabulary teaching strategies are barely successful, make students less keen to study, and seem a bit dated now.
