Therefore, students are in need of some strategies to cope with it and keeping vocabulary journals is one of these particular strategies.

A mixed method approach in which qualitative data was supported by quantitative data was applied to totally 346 participants. The findings of the study provide relevant information and insight for the instructors and administrators who aim to enhance vocabulary learning and plan to implement vocabulary journals into their own educational systems.
