| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate the causal correlation between field-dependence/independence cognitive style and vocabulary learning strategies among Iranian EFL learners. 90 students majoring in English translation at Arak University were chosen. The participants were classified into two groups of field-dependent and independent based on the results of Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT). Then, a vocabulary learning strategies questionnaire (Schmitt, 2000) was administered. The data was analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM) statistical analysis. The results showed that there was causal correlation between fielddependent/independent cognitive style and vocabulary learning strategies. The result also revealed that field-dependent learners tended to use social strategies more than field-independent individuals while field-independent learners used cognitive and metacognitive strategies more frequently than field-dependent counterparts. |
