English abstract

In the fast growing complex world, technologies have received attention in second language learning over the past few years. Especially, learner’s impact towards learning new words through different modalities is more effective in aiding vocabulary acquisition. The purpose of this study is to identify the determination strategies of vocabulary-learning adopted by 72 Engineering students from TED Talks Videos and YouTube Videos. The survey is based on Schmitt’s (1997) Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLSs). The study aims to compare the determination strategies on TED Talks Videos and YouTube Videos. The obtained results of the study revealed that the use of TED Talks Videos is more useful for discovering the meanings of new words than YouTube Videos. Detailed descriptions of the usefulness of determination strategies are given in the investigation.
