Accordingly, strategies for vocabulary learning have been the cornerstone of a lot of studies. Studies, however, on the relationship between vocabulary learning strategies and learner autonomy is few. The purpose of this study is to compare the relationship between Iranian EFL learners’ vocabulary learning strategies and learner autonomy in intermediate and elementary levels. So doing, a couple of instruments including the Oxford Placement Test (OPT), Language Learning Strategies Questionnaire, and Learners’ autonomy questionnaire were given to 85 female language learners.
