Daftar Isi:
- Millennial era can be defined as the life period of generations born in 1980s until 2000s. Millennias have grown up with the internet. This study addresses three objectives: (1) to identify learning strategies of writing skill used by good language learners in Universitas Negeri Makassar in millennial era; (2) to identify media that they use in writing skill; and (3) to describe how long the time they spent in writing skill. The subjects of the study were 40 fourth semester students of English Department at Universitas Negeri Makassar. They were chosen as the subjects since they had the 20% top of Grade Point Average. They were asked to complete a questionnaire of strategies of learning writing skill. The results of the data were analyzed by using coding method. The result shows that, (1) the good language learners use metacognitive strategies (planning and evaluating); cognitive strategies (induction, imagery, using resources, and elaboration of prior knowledge), and also social/affective strategies (self-talk). (2) Most of the good language learners in English Department at UNM reported using online application learning tools, for example YouTube, Social media, Google scholar, Grammarly application, and Duolingo application as their media in improving writing skill. (3) The duration of learning writing skill that the students spent in a week were almost every day. The description of learning strategies in millennial era can be important input for formulating post pandemic language pedagogy.
