This study aims at investigating the Vocabulary Learning Strategies adopted by Terminale A pupils at Groupe Scolaire Mohamed5 of Bouaké. It specifically seeks to find out firstly the most and the least employed strategies to discover the meaning of new words and secondly the strategies used to learn these words. To achieve this goal, questionnaires were used to collect data from 40 pupils. For the data analysis, frequency, percentages and means were used. The results revealed that for the discovery of words’ meaning, determination strategies are the most used whereas the social strategies are the least employed. Concerning strategies to learn new words, the cognitive and metacognitive strategies are the most employed. The memory strategies and social strategies were respectively the least employed. On the basis of these findings, some suggestions were made to both learners and English language teachers.
