Mustafa Mansoor Yahya Altaj

Abstract :

This paper aims at clarifying the main strategies used by Yemeni EFL learners to reduce memorization and beliefs about the role of rote learning in English vocabulary learning from their studies. It also attempts to evaluate the effect of the drawbacks on the process of learning and comes up with some suggested solutions for these drawbacks resulted by memorization. In addition many conclusions can be drawn from this quick survey. We can highlight our study upon the following points: First, the learners should read the material before coming to class in groups or individually to become familiar with content and facilitate comprehension of material. Second, it will focus on the amount of the information that learners already have before coming to the classroom. The role of the teacher will be taken into consideration that he/she focuses on the learners need for memorization. Furthermore, the methodology adapted by teachers will be taken into account to minimize the process of memorization.
