It is also found that using a dictionary is the dominant strategy used by the subjects. It is caused by the subjects‟ limitation in vocabulary. There is one strategy from category 1 which is not used is linking to cognates. The reason of students in having vocabulary learning strategies refers to their limitation in vocabulary.
