SUMMARY
Recent advancement in network and communication has emerged a number of innovations and some of these involve the use of technology through blended learning. This paper aimed at exploring the types of vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) used by intermediate learners of English as a foreign language in Lampung universities as well as the relationship between VLSs and their speaking ability. It also attempted to find out the most-used and least-used strategies for learning vocabulary of English language. It adopted quantitative correlational research design. 179 participants as intermediate learners from nine different universities in Lampung participated in this study. An adopted 50- item questionnaire of vocabulary learning strategies was used for data collection. This questionnaire was distributed in two separate sessions which are online via Google Form link and offline through printed questionnaire. The descriptive statistics analysis of the questionnaire's responses showed that the participants were medium strategy users (mean=3,11). Determination and memory strategies were found to be the most frequently used, while social was the least used. Pearson correlation coefficient on SPSS revealed a very weak relationship between VLSs and the participants’ speaking ability where the value is r< 0,30 (r= 0,089). Finally, it is recommended that the teachers can help their students to become initiative and take responsibility for their success by providing them with a sense of what vocabulary learning strategies are, to enhance their vocabulary knowledge. Moreover, teachers should present a wide range of (VLSs) to their students for both a classroom-related setting and self-directed vocabulary learning.
