A questionnaire was used to obtain the data. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analysed quantitatively. There were 20 respondents participated in this research study. They were the students of MTs Negeri 6 Gunungkidul. The results show that there are generally insignificant differences in terms of vocabulary learning strategies used by male and female students.
