Description
Summary:Learning strategies play significant roles in language learning. The strategies can assist learners in acquiring the language thus leading to academic excellence. At the same time, it can also hinder the language learning process. Realising the importance of learning strategies, this study aims to investigate the learning strategies used by language learners. A quantitative survey was administered via online questionnaire to 263 undergraduate students. The questionnaire consisted of four sections namely demographic profile, cognitive strategies, metacognitive strategies, and resource management strategies. The findings show that learners utilised all three domains for learning strategies. Pedagogically, the findings could help both learners and instructors understand the language learning strategies better. Consequently, a better teaching and learning process could be achieved by referring to the three main domains used by learners for their learning strategies.
