Determination strategies, social strategies, memory strategies, cognitive strategies and meta cognitive strategies were found correlated with the test score of 2.000 level, 3.000 level, 5.000, and academic word level. The correlation analysis between vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary depth showed that determination strategy was the only strategy that had correlation with Vocabulary depth (0.160).

Moreover, the most frequently used strategies by all participants belonged to memory strategies, while the social strategies were the least strategies used by postgraduate students.
