To communicate with others in English fluently, students have to learn English vocabulary. Since learning English vocabulary is difficult, it can be overcome with suitable learning strategies. One research question to be answered in this research is “What are the learning strategies undertaken by Thai students to learn English vocabulary?” This mixed-method research employed a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 18 Thai students, and the FGD interview was conducted via Zoom with 3 Thai students. The questionnaire contained 21 items of Likert-scale statements and two open-ended questions. The findings showed that the strategy they frequently use is the metacognitive strategy, while the strategy they rarely use is the memory strategy. It is recommended that future researchers interested in expanding this topic do extensive research to determine its trustworthiness and provide furt...

Linguistically speaking, prepositions are part of grammar and are frequently used in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Thus, this research investigated the mastery of English prepositions of undergraduate accounting program students of batch 2021 at a private university in Yogyakarta. The data of this quantitative research were collected through a close-ended questionnaire using Google Forms distributed to 23 students. The collected data were analyzed to identify preposition mistakes. Results showed three common problems of prepositions, namely the addition of unnecessary prepositions, omission of prepositions, and misuse of prepositions. The findings would assist students, thesis advisors, and teachers in using English prepositions grammatically, particularly in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It is expected that future researchers utilize larger data sets to obtain more robust results of p...
