The present investigation is an effort to inquire into the connection between using diverse vocabulary learning strategies and word mastery. Many studies have been done in this area. Therefore, some of these related papers were selected and carefully examined. The findings of the previous studies supported the fact that there is a significant and positive correlation between vocabulary knowledge and word learning strategies. The results suggested that training vocabulary learning strategies has positive effect on both language learning and language learners. Moreover, the instruction of strategy comes to the aid of teachers and learners to meet their needs.
