Review paper

The purpose of this study was to investigate EFL teachers’ awareness and practices of vocabulary teaching strategies in EFL classes.  The participants of the study were 16 teachers and 180 students at Debre Tabor secondary school, Woreta secondary school, and Tewodros II secondary school. Multiple instruments that included questionnaire, interviews, and observations were used to gather data. The findings indicated that grade 9 EFL teachers’ understanding towards the principles and purposes of vocabulary teaching strategies were insufficient. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the EFL teachers didn’t properly practice various strategies in their schools. Furthermore, the practices of vocabulary teaching strategies were not given sufficient attention at the schools of the study.  Finally, it is recommended that teachers & students be given trainings on the strategies of vocabulary teaching, and the concerned bodies provide the availability of prepared materials for its effective utilization in schools.
