Abstract
This paper reports the results of a study of the influence of gender on the use
of vocabulary learning strategies of EFL learners in the Republic of Macedonia.
A questionnaire was administered to 709 EFL learners from ten elementary
schools, ten secondary schools, as well as five Faculties of Ss. Cyril and Methodius
University in Skopje. The findings reveal similarities in the ten most and least
frequently used VLS by male and female learners. Apart from females’ greater use
of all five categories of strategies, 8 of the 13 VLS tested by chi-square tests show
more frequent use by females, one strategy is used more often by males, whereas
the remaining 4 do not show any significant variation by gender.
