| Summary: | The study investigated the language learning strategies used among UHB 1412 students using
questionnaire and observation focusing on three objectives; the language learning strategies used by the
students, the language learning strategies used when completing group work tasks and the students’ most
preferred strategies in language learning. Descriptive findings suggested that the students were frequent
users of strategies; the most frequently used being metacognitive strategies and the least frequently used
being social strategies. The observations reported that students used various strategies but the social
strategies showed a significant result as the most used when completing group work tasks. A further
analysis on the descriptive data showed that students preferred to use metacognitive strategies to focus on
the improvement of their language learning. The findings are reported and discussed before
recommendations are made. Recommendations for pedagogical implications suggested that teachers need
to conduct teacher training and strategy training. Recommendations for future research proposed the
studies to be made to larger samples.
