This result concurs with (Benedict & Shabdin, 2021) and (Ayar & Kızıltan, 2020) findings. They also found that learners frequently used determination and metacognitive.…”

“…In addition, learners use repetition, memorisation, dictionary strategies, translation use, and background knowledge and experience to increase their vocabulary acquisition. (Ayar & Kızıltan, 2020) (Ayar & Kızıltan, 2020) studied the effects of cartoons on vocabulary learning strategies, a case study in intermediate-level Turkish EFL learners. The findings showed that the experimental group used the common vocabulary learning strategies for determination and meta-cognitive strategies, whereas the control group mainly adopted memory, social and metacognitive strategies.…”

Vocabulary learning is vital for EFL students. Students face difficulties in learning new English vocabulary. Meanwhile, few studies have investigated the strategies used by Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners to learn new words and the relationship with their gender differences. And there need to be more studies that examine the vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) of Indonesian students studying abroad in the ESL context. Considering the increasing number of Indonesian students studying in ESL communities, this study aims to identify the vocabulary learning strategies employed by Indonesian university students who are pursuing their studies at universities in Malaysia. There were 183 students (89 males and 94 females) enrolled in various degree programmes randomly selected in this study. The Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire from(Almabrouk, 2017), based on (Schmitt, 1997)’s taxonomy, was adopted as the data collection instrument. The findings showed that the most frequent strategy employed by the respondents was 'trying to develop vocabulary knowledge by watching English TV channels (e.g. movies, songs, documentaries from the metacognitive category. Meanwhile, the least frequent strategy employed by the respondents was 'ask the lecturer for translation of the new word into an L1 translation' from the social category. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the use of VLSs based on gender.

“…A number of studies have been conducted on using comics to enhance English vocabulary. Ayar and Kiziltan (2020) carried out quasi-experimental research to examine the effect of cartoons on vocabulary acquisition strategies of Turkish EFL learners who worked with three English literature classics, Treasure Island, Great Expectations, and Romeo & Juliet. A vocabulary learning strategy test was administered to reveal students' preferred strategies.…”

The aim of this quantitative study is to determine the impact of using digital comics to strengthen English as a Foreign Language (EFL) vocabulary knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic. The approach was quasi-experimental with 262 public high school students from three of the four regions of Ecuador. The students’ ages ranged from 12 to 14 years and their proficiency level was A1 in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). They were divided into control and experimental groups. The participants in both groups received explicit vocabulary instruction through workshops, but the experimental group had the opportunity to practise EFL vocabulary using digital comics while the control group used supplementary resources and the textbook established by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education. The data were collected using pre-tests, post-tests, and a perception survey. Based on the statistical analysis, the results showed a significant improvement in vocabulary acquisition in the experimental group. This group also demonstrated a positive perception of the use of digital comics for enhancing EFL vocabulary knowledge because comics allowed students to create original digital stories and customise them according to their preferences. Further research might consider the use of comics for teaching specific linguistic skills in on-site learning environments.
