The present study aims to clarify the effects of learning methods on EFL vocabulary learning. Three methods were compared, namely Context Learning, Collocation (COL) learning and Translation Learning, to learn ten adjectives. Two tests, an immediate and a delayed test, were conducted. Half of the contexts given in the learning phase were changed in the test phase to evaluate the effects of transfer. 144 subjects participating in this study were divided into two proficiency levels, advanced and weak. The results indicated that COL Learning and Translation Learning performed better than Context Learning on the immediate test, and that COL Learning performed better than Context Learning on the delayed test. The results suggest that advanced learners in COL Learning scored higher than those in Translation Learning and Context Learning, and that weak learners in Translation Learning and COL Learning scored higher than those in Context Learning.
