Abstract

Most college students take lecture notes. Studies have shown that effective note-taking practices can improve study practices, course outcomes, and retention of content. While L2 vocabulary learning is one of the most popular topics in mobile-assisted language learning, little attention has been paid to the effect of digital lecture notes on vocabulary learning. This study responds to the call for further research on mobile-assisted vocabulary learning through digital note-taking with a tablet. Both quantitative data from a 5-point Likert scale and qualitative data from interviews were analyzed to extract themes representing different strategies. It was revealed in the study that this group of EFL students mainly employed four categories of learning strategies in digital note-taking: organization, encoding, processing, and reviewing. Additionally, participants encountered two major challenges: distraction and over-dependence. These findings will help with the development of the framework for learning strategies. Guidelines are suggested to help instructors improve students’ performance in vocabulary learning.
