    Learning and applying vocabulary strategies is essential in a second language, as it helps learners acquire a solid base of fundamental words, facilitating basic communication, as well as being crucial for progressing to more advanced levels. In such a way, there is still a need to know more about using vocabulary strategies to learn English and increase vocabulary. The main objective of the present research project was to determine which vocabulary learning strategies are used by A1 level students at the Technical University of Cotopaxi - Pujilí Campus. This study used a descriptive quantitative research approach. In addition, the technique was the survey and the instrument was the questionnaire taken from Atifnigar, et.al that consists of 28 items with a Likert scale of 5 types ranging from, 5 always, 4 often, 3 sometimes, 2 rarely and 1 never. The participants were the students of the Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages, a total of 51 people. The data collected were analyzed descriptively using the social science software package (SPSS). The results indicate that A1 learners preferentially use vocabulary strategies at a medium-high level, in the following order, social strategies, metacognitive, cognitive, memory, and lastly, determination. Considering that learners' use of vocabulary strategies is key in English language learning, educators are suggested to incorporate more effective activities and strategies, fostering an effective learning environment and improving it.
