Language Learning Strategy Used by Cambodian EFL Students

Abstract

The purposes of this study were: (1) to investigate the language learning strategies (LLS) employed by Cambodian EFL students enrolled at Meanchey and Build Bright University in Cambodia, and (2) to explore whether or not a difference exists between female and male students in the use of LLS. The participants were 159 first-year students majoring in English who were administered with a Likert-scale questionnaire based on the Oxford’s (1990) Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). Means were calculated and independent sample t-tests were conducted. The findings showed that the students adopted LLS for high frequency use language. There was no significant difference between males and females in LLS use as a whole.
