English is one of the compulsory subjects in universities in Indonesia. Most of the students dislike this subject because they feel it is difficult to learn English, especially memorising English vocabularies. Deciding the teaching strategy for helping students understand English vocabularies is one of the issues facing teachers. Hence, the purpose of this study is to formulate an innovative strategy teachers can use to enlarge students' English vocabularies in higher education, especially in the fashion department of Malang State University. This qualitative study involved twenty-six undergraduate students from the fashion department where multiple teaching strategies were implemented and assessed through interviews, observations, and artifacts. The results of this study showed that each strategy has different benefits for students. Therefore, student involvement is important to enrich their English vocabularies. Educators must provide opportunities for students to engage in helpful, meaningful and relatable learning. It is important that educators are aware of setting up the multiple ways that help students to increase their academic achievement consistently. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
