LEARNING STRATEGIES AND ACHIEVEMENT IN ENGLISH LEARNING

Abstract

A successful language classroom requires not only a skilful teacher but also prepared students. By preparing the students to learn, we can assure the smooth knowledge transfer from the teacher to students. One aspect of the readiness is learning strategy. A good student usually applies his/her strategy to be succeeded in learning. The use of the strategy usually correlated to their learning style, gender,  culture and intelligence preference. It was found that high achiever students applied learning strategy which is appropriate to their learning style, gender, culture and intelligent preference. While the low achievers did not use the strategy which is appropriate for them. They even applied it randomly without considering its appropriateness to their needs.
