Abstract
Despite ample studies on EFL learners’ perception in vocabulary learning, little research has shown the information from vocabulary test to examine students’ challenges in learning vocabulary. This study investigated the shortcomings faced by EFL students in a reputable private high school during English vocabulary learning. This study made use of a preliminary study where the researchers collected the data from the vocabulary test as an instrument to measure students' competence in identifying, understanding, and using vocabulary. The findings show that the students had difficulty in choosing correct-meaning words rather than identifying synonyms and antonyms. This study asserts the problems students face in learning vocabulary, increases students' awareness of the importance of learning English vocabulary, and further researchers can explore more effective vocabulary learning strategies and promote teachers to make learning activities that can improve students’ vocabulary mastery
