However, it has a longer history, with its genesis in 2002 as part of Chiang Mai University Journal.This journal was split into two in 2007, with the formation of ASR's predecessor, the Chiang Mai University Journal of social Sciences and Humanities, which was later restyled as ASR in 2014, and began publishing online in 2015. This research aims to investigate trends in the use of Korean language vocabulary learning strategies by Thai students and the relationship between students’ use of vocabulary learning strategies and their specific characteristics. Participants comprised Thai students currently studying the Korean language. Data were collected through a questionnaire, examined for reliability, and then analyzed. The first step in data analysis was to explore trends in the students’ use of vocabulary learning strategies, which could be categorized into two types, namely vocabulary discovery strategies and vocabulary consolidation strategies. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted using SPSS 24 in order to determine statistically significant differences between the two types of strategy as well as the frequencies of use of each strategy. Next, correlation analysis was performed via SPSS 24 to assess the relationship between the students’ Korean language vocabulary learning strategies and their specific characteristics (i.e. gender, age, level of Korean language proficiency, experience in residing in Korea, length of Korean language study, experience in traveling/undertaking training in Korea, and state of being of Korean descent). From the analysis, it has been discovered that Thai students employed both discovery and consolidation strategies concurrently, yet consolidation strategies were used more frequently than the other. The most frequently used strategy was “If [I] cannot think of certain words when speaking or writing in Korean, [I] refer to the Internet or a dictionary”. Besides, statistical significance has been found in the relationship between vocabulary learning strategies and Korean language proficiency, while consolidation strategies were observed to correlate with the students’ gender. The findings of this research would therefore enable teachers to recognize crucial elements of Korean vocabulary pedagogy, also allowing them to adjust their teaching so as to correspond with students’ different levels of language proficiency. 2020-05-20T04:41:50Z 2020-05-20T04:41:50Z 2018 ASR: Chiang Mai University.Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities 5,1 (Jan- 2018), p.80-96 2465-4329 http://cmuj.cmu.ac.th/uploads/asr_journal_list_index/196875341.pdf http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/68658 Eng Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Chiang Mai University
