    This study is based on a predictive correlational research design; it investigates the language strategy used by third-year students at Larbi Tebessi -Tebessa university and its contribution to developing vocabulary knowledge and writing ability. The study predominantly involved descriptive research using a quantitative approach to analyse data collected from 49 students. The study implements a number of research tools such as a questionnaire, vocabulary tests, and student-written assignments that were guided by four main research questions. Finally, the answers were calculated and put in SPSS for analysis. The non-experimental study has provided several findings; initially, the data collected from the questionnaire revealed that the participants employed various strategies in learning vocabulary with medium use, while they used various strategies at the high-frequency level when they perform in writing tasks. Regarding the results from phase two, we found that the student's productive vocabulary size is very limited compared to receptive vocabulary size. Linear and multiple regression results revealed no statistically significant effect of language learning strategies on vocabulary size. The results obtained from phase three revealed that the writing quality of the majority of the participants is fair. Subsequently, a significant correlation between vocabulary and writing quality was found. In contrast, the findings also revealed a weaker, albeit a significant, relationship between language learning strategies and student essays scores. The overall scores obtained from VocabProfile showed that students used vocabulary at about one-half of their vocabulary size in writing essays. The results suggest that strategy training and self-directed instructions should be applied to integrate vocabulary in Algerian curricula and teaching writing skills.
