Abstract

ABSTRACT Gita Indah Cahyani : Exploring Student's Strategies and Challenges on English Vocabulary Mastery in Limited digital Tools Access NIM : 22551018 Advisor : Dr. Leffi Noviyenti M.Pd Co-Advisor : Meli Fauziah, M.Pd English language learning in many Islamic boarding schools often occurs in contexts with limited or no access to digital tools. At Hidayatul Falah Boarding School in Rejang Lebong, students must rely on traditional resources, printed materials, and face-to-face interactions to acquire English vocabulary. This study employs a qualitative case study design to explore the strategies and challenges of students in mastering English vocabulary under limited digital access. Data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews. The observation involved 27 students from 8 classes, while interviews were conducted with selected participants to gain deeper insights. The findings indicate that students primarily use memory strategies, such as mnemonics, repeated exposure, and note-taking; cognitive strategies, including analyzing word parts, consulting offline dictionaries, and constructing sentences; and social strategies, such as peer discussion and teacher guidance. The main challenges identified include limited motivation, difficulty retaining vocabulary, low self-directed learning skills, limited learning materials, reduced interaction opportunities, teaching constraints, and restricted access to resources. Despite these challenges, students demonstrated resilience and adaptability, actively applying available strategies to enhance vocabulary mastery. These results underscore the importance of structured guidance, social interaction, and alternative learning techniques in facilitating effective English learning in low-digital environments.
