Summary: This study reports on the effectiveness of vocabulary acquisition strategies preferred by students, the strategies preferred by their teachers, and the bridging strategies devised by the researcher to fill the gap between them. The participants were students and teachers of the Basic English classes at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez. The study is divided into two phases: the first is a series of surveys designed to find out vocabulary acquisition strategies preferred by students and teachers. The second is the study, which tests the effectiveness of three treatments for vocabulary acquisition, strategies suggested by: students, teachers, and the researcher (bridging strategies).Summary: Each treatment for vocabulary was effective in itself since there was a significant gain from the pre-test scores to the post-test scores. The strategies suggested by teachers and the ones suggested by the researcher were more effective than the strategies suggested by students.

This study reports on the effectiveness of vocabulary acquisition strategies preferred by students, the strategies preferred by their teachers, and the bridging strategies devised by the researcher to fill the gap between them. The participants were students and teachers of the Basic English classes at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez. The study is divided into two phases: the first is a series of surveys designed to find out vocabulary acquisition strategies preferred by students and teachers. The second is the study, which tests the effectiveness of three treatments for vocabulary acquisition, strategies suggested by: students, teachers, and the researcher (bridging strategies).
Each treatment for vocabulary was effective in itself since there was a significant gain from the pre-test scores to the post-test scores. The strategies suggested by teachers and the ones suggested by the researcher were more effective than the strategies suggested by students.
