among university students in Batam, Indonesia. Vocabulary learning strategies and
integrative motivation were independent variables, while vocabulary skills were the
dependent variable. This research used quantitative approach. Two questionnaires
were used to measure vocabulary learning strategies and integrative motivation,
while a test was conducted to measure the level of vocabulary skills. The

learning strategies through integrativeness and attitudes toward learning situation
toward vocabulary skills. The students with the higher strategies to expand the
knowledge of new vocabulary items can ideally have higher level of integrativeness
