The Enchanting Realm of Urdu Literature: A Journey Through Its Rich Heritage and Diverse Forms

Abstract

Learning vocabulary is a crucial component of learning any language, but it's crucial for students studying English as a second language (ESL). Vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) are methods that students can employ to increase their vocabulary and acquire new words. Research on the usage of VLS by ESL students in Pakistani higher education is becoming more and more extensive. This study has demonstrated that ESL students in Pakistan are aware of and somewhat use VLS. There is evidence, nevertheless, that suggests students could be making better use of VLS. According to one study, the most common metacognitive tactics employed by Pakistani ESL students included considering ways for learning vocabulary and keeping track of their own progress. They did, however, employ cognitive methods less frequently, such as deducing new words' meanings from context. A different study discovered a favourable relationship between vocabulary performance and VLS use. This implies that pupils with higher vocabulary knowledge likely to be more proficient users of VLS. The results of this study indicate that greater instruction in VLS is required for Pakistani ESL students. Students may learn about various VLS kinds, their efficient use, and how to select the best VLS for certain learning objectives as part of this training.
