Daftar Isi:
- This research was aimed at revealing the English learning strategies used by undergraduate students at English Language Education Department (ELED) University of Muhammadiyah Malang as well as their usage frequency, the problems faced by the students, and solutions for the existing problems. The research employed a mix-method. A total of forty ELED students from the year of 2016 were taken through a snow ball sampling as the research subjects. Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire was distributed to the research subjects. The results were calculated by utilizing SPSS to find out the English learning strategies used by the students and their usage frequency. Moreover, a semi-structured interview was conducted to six students, as the representative of each strategy to find out the problems faced by students as well as the solutions for the existing problems. It was revealed that ELED undergraduate students utilized the six English learning strategies. Cognitive Strategies were mostly utilized. Furthermore, the students faced several problems in applying English learning strategies namely; wrong prediction of vocabulary meaning, getting frustrated with a bunch of unfamiliar words, low reading habit, poor time management, anxiety, non-English speaking environment, and lack of practice out of classroom. The solutions comprised increasing vocabulary, emerging self-motivation, simultaneously applying English out of the classroom, utilizing various English sources, looking for an authentic communication, and maximizing technology assistance. By knowing the students’ learning strategies, it is expected that the teachers could adjust their teaching style with the students’ way of learning.
