Information . and Memory Clue) strategy, (30) students in the experiment group.(2) were taught vocabulary using SVES (Stephens Vocabulary Elaboration Strategy) ,while (30)in the control group, students were using regular instruction. A pre-test was administered to both experimental groups and the control group to assure that they were equivalent. All students were homogeneous in terms of their English language proficiency.
