Student Use of Language Learning Strategies in Second/Foreign Language (L2) Learning—Chinese English Majors as an Example
Abstrak
: Language learning strategies (LLS) are deliberate behaviours adopted by language learners to facilitate the acquisition, storage, and application of new knowledge. This study investigated the overall and individual LLS used by Chinese who are English majors from all grades. A review of selected different literature briefly shows the background and basic information of LLS with several influencing factors. The data came from the questionnaire based on Oxford’s (1990) Strategy Inventory of Language Learning (SILL) by quantitative research. The findings showed that the respondents used almost all strategies in a high level. The results showed that social strategy was used most frequently by the group of students followed by metacogntive strategy. While the rest of the strategies followed by are cognitive, compensation, affective strategy, except for the memory strategy which was used with medium range. The results seem to indicate that respondents tend to use their preferred LLS in improving their language skills and would benefit greatly from the use of LLS to improve their language proficiency. Additional qualitative research could be required to comprehend the exact strategies chosen by students. These findings would have significant pedagogical and theoretical consequences.
