Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study was to explore the language learning and speaking strategies utilized by fourth-semester English Language Education Department students studying English as a Foreign Language in academic year 2022/2023. The data collected from 32 students who already have some experience for learning speaking in the first semester to the third semester in the class. As the research instrument, the data were collected using the Strategy Inventory Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire version 7.0 and interviews. The questionnaire data analysis revealed that the students utilized all of the learning strategies, with the memory strategy accounting for 16,06 percent, the cognitive strategy for 16,61 percent, the compensation strategy for 16,97 percent, the metacognitive strategy for 18,03 percent, the affective strategy for 15,67 percent, and the social strategy for 16,65 percent. Metacognitive systems got the most elevated rate (18,03%) and the most extensive all out score (4,36). In the interview the students employ diverse strategies to acquire vocabulary, improve grammar, enhance pronunciation, and practice speaking skills. They use techniques like watching movies, listening to music, reading, looking up words, and actively writing down and remembering new vocabulary. They engage with various media, utilize resources, seek guidance, adopt a positive mindset, and embrace mistakes to strengthen their language skills and become more proficient.
