Eighty intermediate EFL learners who studied English in Shokouh Language Institue participated in the current research. The present study used Kudo’s (1999) classification of vocabulary learning strategies including metacognitive andpsycholinguistic strategies. Kudo’s (1999) likert-scale questionnaire was also used in the present study. In order to analyze the data and answer the research questions, descriptive statistics including means and standard deviations were used to summarize the male andfemale learners’ responses to the vocabulary learning strategy questionnaire. Moreover, Mann-Whitney U test was employed to examine the null hypothesis of the study. The findingrevealed that the frequencies mean for the use of psycholinguistic and metacognitive strategies as well as the overall frequency mean were slightly higher for the female learners.
