TYPES OF LANGUAGE LEARNING STRATEGIES USED BY TERTIARY ENGLISH MAJORS

---

This study investigated the types of language learning strategies
used by 73 English majors from the School of Humanities in Universiti
Sains Malaysia. Using questionnaires adopted from Oxford’s (1990) Strategy
Inventory of Language Learning (SILL) and focus group interviews, the
study also examined the English major students’ perceptions of using language
learning strategies while learning English. The results revealed that
the English majors were generally high users of all six types of language
learning strategies. The English majors were reported to use metacognitive
strategies the most. The least preferred strategies among the English majors
were memory strategies. Some of the students’ perceptions were positive as
they perceived that language learning strategies developed their language
competency and required a conscious and deliberate effort. Conversely,
some negative perceptions illustrate that students had low awareness of
language learning strategies and they believed that language learning strategies
did not develop language competency and the usage did not require
conscious effort. Research in this field should not cease from exploration in
order to contribute towards the development of self-regulated language
learners who have problem solving skills and are able to take control of
their learning process.
Keywords: language learning strategies (LLS), Strategy Inventory for Language
Learning (SILL), student perceptions
