Fulltext: THE STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY THE STUDENTS.pdf (6.96MB) Isi artikel This study is meant to reflectively discuss the struggle of non-English-major students at the State College for Islamic Studies (STAIN Manado), based on Rebecca Oxford’s theory of Language Learning Strategies (1990) combined with the concept of successful or good language learners (Naimen, 1978 in Ghani, 2003). The level of English Learning Strategies (ELS) by non-English-major University freshmen, the types of strategies used the most and least often by these students in learning English as well as the reasons that explain whether or not specific types of ELS are chosen, are examined. A total number of 115 ESL students of STAIN Manado (population 460) responded to 50 questions of the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) Version 7.0 developed by Oxford (1990). Classroom observations and interviews of representations of respondents who show very high scores and very low ones on SILL are also employed. The first finding suggests that the investigated students used a moderate level of ESL language learning strategies (the SILL average score is 2.9on a 1 to 5 scale). Secondly, they mostly used Indirect Strategies, which means that they did not involve the direct use of English when actually learning English. It is recommended that university ESP teachers train students on the use of Direct Strategies to enhance their performance in English. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
