Abstract
The study investigates vocabulary learning strategies of ESL students of Pakistan with a consideration of their performance in order to identify; the vocabulary level of the students and the most frequently and least frequently used strategies. The research design was quantitative and the participants were Pakistani ESL students of intermediate level. The SILL (Oxford, 1990) was administered to assess the strategy use while their performance was determined by the result of vocabulary test. The findings demonstrate that Pakistani ESL students are medium strategy users with the frequent use of meta cognitive strategies while with least use of affective strategies. Moreover, vocabulary learning strategies show moderate correlation with students’ performance. It is demonstrated that there is found a significant positive correlation with vocabulary learning strategies and students’ performance.
