Abstract: 
Research about learning strategies has focused on language learning and teaching in order to 
provide insights for developing effective vocabulary teaching and learning. Although vocabulary has been 
attributed less importance than the four skills in language teaching, interest in its role in language learning 
has grown rapidly in recent years because learning a foreign language is basically a matter of learning the 
vocabulary of that language. In a foreign language learning context, it cannot be denied that vocabulary is 
an element of great importance and thus emphasized to a great extent.
 
Keywords
: Method, vocabulary, Semantic Mapping technique, vocabulary strategy, materials. 
Having been interested in the field of lexicology, I have always been concerned on training students to 
learn and store new vocabulary effectively. There are two reasons that make me write this article, the first one 
is the absolute absence of vocabulary instructions in our own curriculum and the second one is the failure to 
leave a specific classroom time devoted directly to learning and training vocabulary. In this matter, my article 
will focus on maintaining the vocabulary notebook which has been a very well-known practice to us, but 
indeed it has remained as a “good advice” doing nothing to put seriously in the practical order. Communication 
is the basis of human talk. People communicate verbally, in written forms or using body language. 
Comprehending a partner’s speech is a crucial element of communication. Dialogues are the examples of a 
comprehended communication. If one part misses the overall idea of the context, it spoils smooth conversation 
and causes misunderstanding. Being able to listen and understand someone’s speech is important in language 
learning. Because the learners use different ways of communication during and beyond the class. Having a 
good vocabulary is the essential part of communication. As, learners listen each other and they comprehend 
differently. A receiver with good vocabulary basis, can understand 80-100% of the information carried by a 
speaker. Thus, a student who has basic, essential vocabulary skill can understand a teacher and his/her 
groupmates during EFL classes. When this importance of vocabulary learning is taken into consideration, we 
cannot skip the role of learning strategies in vocabulary learning and teaching. Another benefit of using 
strategies could be that, once this ability is gained, students may transfer them to other language skills. 
Through the cultivation of vocabulary, learners are allowed to one more channel of communication and can 
benefit from one more important source of input [5]. If vocabulary is improved, it may provide usable data in 
improving language skills and can accelerate language learning. To be self-sufficient, learners must know how 
to learn. So, the aim here is to encourage self sufficiency by helping learners recognize situations where they 
could use these vocabulary learning strategies and become aware of these strategies that are particularly 
suitable for them and use them effectively. For that reason, it would be useful to determine their strategies and 
raise their awareness of these vocabulary learning strategies in order to make them not only more prepared for 
learning but also more analytic about their strategies they make use of. So, vocabulary learning strategies are 
recognized as a way to empower students to take control of and responsibility for their vocabulary learning. 
There are several general principles for effective vocabulary teaching in intermediate classes, which are 
useable for any method. Teaching vocabulary for intermediate is not an easy task, because students need more 
attention that their enthusiasm in learning. Chall suggests that there are some principles of helping the students 
to learn vocabulary:
1. Teachers can model how to use techniques and draw learner’s attention explicitly to aspects of technique 
use. For example, teachers can show how to find clues to the meaning of a new word in a picture or in other 
words in the same sentence.
