الملخص:The role of context has long been considered extremely important to deprive the meanings of unfamiliar words. This study aims to investigate how the EFL students perform the strategy of guessing the words‟ meaning from context with respect to their preferences, perceptions, and practice. A case study research design was employed to collect in-depth information from ten first-year students whose vocabulary size was adequate to allow learning through guessing. The study was carried out in three phases: first, students completed a questionnaire on the strategy choice; second, they took a vocabulary test to see their actual practice of the strategy and finally a structured interview was conducted to examine the underlying reasons of their choice.
