and simplify the process of language learning for students Therefore, this study endeavors to investigate language learning strategies applied by students at the Department of Foreign Languages, Quy Nhon university in learning English language as a foreign language To fulfill the aim, the study was carried out with the enthusiastic participation of 200 English majors from first year to fourth year The study used the language learning strategy questionnaire established by Oxford (1990) to collect data of 200 students, 20 out of 200 students from different courses then participated in interviews, and later the data was both qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed The study discloses that EFL students at Quy Nhon university were accustomed to the whole six language learning strategies clusters These language learning strategies clusters are: Memory, Cognitive, Compensation, Metacognitive, Social, and Affective strategies with a high level of frequency use for over-all strategies (M = 3.60) The most repeatedly applied strategies by students from these six strategies are as follows from the top Metacognitive, Social, Memory, Cognitive, Compensation and Affective strategies, particularly EFL students prioritized the strategy of paying attention when someone is speaking English (item of Metacognitive strategies) as this significantly contributes to improving their second language acquisition The findings would help teachers and students to be aware of language learning strategies while in teaching and learning English as a foreign language iv TABLE OF

CHAPTER INTRODUCTION The chapter introduces the topic of this thesis: language learning strategies used by a group of EFL students at Quy Nhon university learning English as a foreign language More specifically, it provides the rationale, the aim and objectives, research questions, the scope, the significance, and the organization of the study The relevance of the present study to the overall contemporary field of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) research is also considered 1.1 Rationale Language learning strategies have played a critical role in the acquisition of foreign languages Therefore, several types of language learning strategy research were published and flourished in the 1970s with the theory of cognitive revolution, and a number of researches have shown an adjacent association between language learning strategies, language learning, and achievements Oxford explains language learning strategies as “specific action taken by the learner to make learning easier, faster, more enjoyable, more self-directed, and more effective and more transferable to new situations” (1990:8) She also continues saying that learning strategies take a substantial part for language learners to enhance their foreign language abilities Furthermore, when it comes to studying a foreign language, students or learners must be mindful of using appropriate learning strategies (Meshyan & Hernandez, 2002; Al-Wazzan, 2020; Salma, 2020) Consequently, not having appropriate language learning strategies turns out to be a problem for students and learners to develop their foreign language As far as the previous studies on the use of language learning strategies are concerned, Anida (2003) has effectively confirmed that EFL students are capable of developing their performances, interests, self-confidence, and attitude towards the learning English by following significant language learning strategies The study further shows a connection between language learning strategies and language skills Another study by Qingquan et al (2008) examined differences in the language learning strategies use by the first-year students at a Chinese university The findings indicated that the high achievers employed a wider range of language learning strategies at a higher level and more various types of language learning strategies than the low achievers did In another EFL context, Osman and Manan (2010) conducted a survey with 20 successful and 20 less successful language students from an urban school in Ipod, Perak, to explore the most frequently used strategies and any differences in language learning strategies use between the successful learners and the less successful ones Furthermore, it was shown that Affective, Compensation, and Metacognitive strategies used at a moderate level were preferred by the participants In the context of Vietnam, there are also studies on language learning strategies of Bui (2018), Duong (2019), Ngo (2019), and Vo and Duong (2020) More precisely, Bui (2018) conducted the study to investigate the language learning strategies used by Vietnamese EFL first-year students at Hanoi University of Business and Technology, as well as how these strategies differed depending on the students' English level Besides, Ngo (2019) and Duong (2019) conducted studies with the same aim of exploring language learning strategies, and the subjects of both studies are high school students Meanwhile, Vo and Duong (2020) conducted a study with a new approach addressing only Metacognitive strategies at a Ho Chi Minh City-based college with the participation of non- English majors It was indicated that the participants recognized the importance of Metacognitive strategies in their 69 Secondly, due to the limited time allotted to a master thesis, the present study addresses the frequency of using language learning strategies and neglected other fields of research In the broader field of second language research, there has been much effort taken and considerable research done to analyze the correlation between the use of language learning strategies and the improvement of learners' language skills For instance, Oxford (1990) developed the strategy inventory for language learning comprising six main types of language learning and fifty learning techniques in general However, only a few the work of Vietnamese scholars has raised the question of variables affecting the SILL use in the context of learning English Future research at Quy Nhon University is required to pursue this subject Finally, the participants in this study were limited EFL students in the Department of Foreign Languages As a result, this study cannot generalize all linguistic features expressing language learning strategies It is advisable for researchers to conduct a large-scale examination on the use of other different departments with different ages, different gender and different educational levels regarding language learning strategies
