摘要:AbstractThis study was conducted to assess the learning strategies employed by secondary ESL learners in Johor, Malaysia. 180 respondents were selected to respond to the SILL Questionnaire. Data was analysed using the SPSS version 7.0. Results showed high frequencies in using all the six categories of learning strategies, with the affective strategy ranked 1st and the compensation strategy the least popular. In addition, female students exhibited higher frequencies in using learning strategi es than their male counterparts. This is good for ESL pedagogy as it reveals the interest of the learners towards learning English language.
