    This study investigated the impact of using concept cube strategy on developing English learners vocabulary of the 5th graders in Nablus city schools. The researcher followed the quasi-experimental approach in this study. The study instrument consisted of an achievement pre-posttest to collect data. The population of the study represented (4794) male and female of the fifth graders in Nablus schools. A sample of 260 male and female students was purposively chosen and divided into two groups: first, the experimental group which consisted of (68 males, 70 females) and learned the English language through using concept cube strategy and second, the control group which consisted of (60 males, 62 females) and learned the English language through using the traditional method. After conducting the pre-posttest, the researcher analyzed the collected data by using independent T. Test sample, paired T. Test sample, and Eta square to test the effect size. The results of the study revealed the following: - There was a positive impact of using concept cube strategy on improving the vocabulary of the 5th graders in Nablus city. - There were statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) between the pre-test mean scores and the posttest mean scores of the experimental group in favour of the posttest. - There were statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) between posttest mean scores of the experimental group and those of the control group in favour of the experimental group. In the light of the study results, the researcher recommended using concept cube strategy as an effective educational method of teaching the English language vocabulary. The researcher also recommended conducting further studies related to using concept cube strategy with different dependent variables such as writing, listening and reading with different grades, different sample, different location, and different schools.
