  2. Introduction • Learning English language as a foreign or second language needs lexical knowledge which plays a vital role to learn this language effectively. • Vocabulary acquisition makes second language learners (L2) adept in accurate meaning, spelling and derivations (Ramírez, Chen, & Pasquarella, 2013).

  3. Problem Statement • Vocabulary knowledge dependents on vocabulary learning strategies where most learners identify the acquisition of vocabulary as their greatest source of problems ( Abdo and Breen,2010) • Teaching vocabulary learning strategies is given least attention in EFL classrooms (Abdo & Breen, 2010). • This study focuses in identifying the vocabulary learning strategies of EFL Iraqi students to enable English language instructors gaining a better understanding of it

  4. Research Aims This research will achieve the following objectives: • Determine the vocabulary level of EFL Iraqi students. • Determine the relationships between different VLSs and vocabulary level of EFL Iraqi students.

  5. RESEARCH QUESTIONS • Q1; What is the vocabulary level of EFL Iraqi students? • Q2; What is the relationship of current learning strategies and vocabulary level of EFL Iraqi students?
