The data were analyzed based on theory by Vivian Cook (2008). The findings indicated that there are six strategies from two categories are used by the subjects in learning English vocabulary. Namely, category 1: Strategies for getting meaning: (1) guessing from situation or context, (2) using a dictionary, (3) make deductions from the word form and category 2: Strategies for acquiring words: (4) repetition and rote learning, (5) organizing words in the mind, (6) linking to existing knowledge. It is also found that using a dictionary is the dominant strategy used by the subjects. It is caused by the subjects’ limitation in vocabulary. There is one strategy from category 1 which is not used is linking to cognates. The reason of students in having vocabulary learning strategies refers to their limitation in vocabulary. It means that the subjects are learning English as a foreign language. So, they were using those strategies in learning English vocabulary.
