This study explores the relationship between vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary size with Korean college students. One-hundred thirty-three participants were assigned to high- and low-level groups, depending on their scores on a vocabulary-size test. For the study, three questionnaires were employed: a background questionnaire, a vocabulary-size test, and a vocabulary learning strategies questionnaire. The results of the study show that there were significant differences between the two groups in all categories of vocabulary learning strategies, including determinative, social, memory, cognitive, and metacognitive strategies. In addition, a positive correlation was found between vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary size, which suggests a prominent relationship between metacognitive strategies and vocabulary-size test scores. Based on the outcomes, pedagogical implications suggesting ways language instructors can employ these results in their L2 classrooms are made.
