Abstract
In this survey-based study, high school students who attended private schools in the province of Pathumthani were asked to examine the relationship between their learning techniques and methods for learning the English language. This study's sample group was made up of high school students enrolled in all English classes in the first semester of 2023 at private high schools in the province of Pathumthani that offer education at the high school level. From five private educational institutes, there were 270 individuals in all. An individual item's discrimination score ranged from.22 to.90 on a five-rating scale questionnaire, while the questionnaire as a whole had a reliability score between.75 and.92. The statistical analysis comprised mean (), standard deviation (SD), Pearson’s correlation coefficient (Pearson correlation).
The findings were as follows: 1) The individual and auditory learning approaches were very compatible with English learning approaches. The remaining four learning strategies were deemed to have no statistical relevance because of their low average values. Students are thought to use it infrequently as a learning strategy. 2) The study participants' preferred methods for learning English are cognitive strategies, which are followed by the metaphysical approach. The order in which memory, compensation, and social techniques are employed is evident, with the emotive kind being the least utilized. 3) Regarding the connection between learning strategies and methods, it was discovered that learners who were visual could effectively regulate their attitudes and feelings while acquiring English. It implies that students could regulate their anxiety levels and exercise self-motivation. For example, those who learn best by auditory means would be able to understand information and apply reasoning to analyze it. When the metacognition method was combined with other strategies that were applied carelessly and arbitrarily, the students also experienced difficulties.
