The aim of this study was to investigate the Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) used by B1 (CEFR) Peruvian English as a Foreign Language learners at Asociacion Cultural Peruano Britanica (Britanico) and to find out the possible effects of explicit vocabulary strategy instruction on their learning results and strategy awareness. A quasi-experimental, one group pre-test, post-test design was used in this study with a sample group of 12 participants. In this study data was obtained by using mixed methods. These included a 20-item questionnaire adapted from Schmitt’s (1997) taxonomy for Vocabulary Learning Strategies, a Vocabulary Test and a Students´ Perception Questionnaire. The results showed that after the implementation of explicit vocabulary strategy instruction, the participants became frequent strategy users with an overall strategy mean score of 3.5958. Even though there were no changes in the overall patterns of vocabulary learning strategies, the use of cognitive strategies increased significantly and passed from being moderately used strategies with a mean score of 3.13 to frequently used ones with a mean score of 3.50. In addition, the study also found a positive correlation between vocabulary instruction, learning results and increased strategy awareness. The study has implications for teachers, learners, course planners and syllabus designers.
