Investigating the cognitive processes used by EFL learners is a revealing enterprise in the domain of L2 vocabulary acquisition. A fundamental question that has remained unanswered in the literature on vocabulary acquisition concerns the relationship between the range of strategies and knowledge sources EFL learners use. In this study, a qualitative approach was designed and carried out in which 103 participants were selected randomly from among medical and paramedical students who enrolled in ESP I at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Data on VLSs in an ESP context were elicited by observation, interview and questionnaire. This study has implications for EFL learners, instructors, curriculum developers and materials writers.
