Abstract
In the current study the role of learning limited range of vocabulary on the IELTS
writing skill proficiency has been explored. Participant included an Elementary
English student whose first language is Persian and who has once took the IELTS
test with the overall band score 6.0 and the writing band score 5.5. In order to
answer the research questions, the researcher has employed qualitative research
study as the methodology and case study as the research strategy. Successively,
the participant was about to write a story on his own using the vocabulary of a
vocabulary book along with their use and collocation. The student`s writings were
then analyzed every session to see if there was any changes in the frequency of
used words by the researcher. Finally, a reliable IELTS writing test was taken
from the student and it was seen although the student seemed to have some
collocation mistakes, his writing skill has been improved. As a result of the
Iranian EFL Journal 207
second IELTS exam taken three months later after the first one, it has been seen
that the participant`s writing band score has been increased one mark to 6.5.
