ABSTRACT
Note-taking strategies have emerged as effective tools for improving EFL learners' vocabulary acquisition. By actively engaging learners in the process of capturing new vocabulary words, The current study aims at describing and investigating the impact of the strategic note taking in enhancing EFL learners’ Vocabulary . Thus, we hypothesized that if learners take notes effectively, their vocabulary will be enhanced. To confirm this hypothesis we opt for the use of the descriptive study , The main objectives of this work are investigating the relationships between the two variables and raising the learner’s awareness of the importance of taking notes during lectures. In addition to providing them with the effective methods that assist them as the Cornell note taking method. It further attempts to give implication for EFL teachers to teach and use this strategy while lecturing. The tools used to reach those objectives are a questionnaire administrated to second-year EFL learners and at the Division of English at M’sila University and an interview with EFL teachers, The results obtained which prove the hypothesis are tabulated and analyzed in the last chapter. It revealed that taking notes during lectures, promotes the deep concentration and attention to the course. Hence, learners' vocabulary will be enhanced.
