<em>Since Indonesian students come from different cultures, languages and personality traits as well, recognizing their personality traits and their language learning strategy choice might be effective to help teacher design an effective teaching strategies to achieve learning objectives. This study was intended to find out (1) what personality traits Indonesian senior high school students fell into, and (2) to investigate what language learning strategies introvert and extrovert students used highly frequently. The 58 participants aged from sixteen to eighteen years old who were from the third grade of senior high school and were all from science class were given eighteen statements of McCroskey’s introversion scale to categorize them into extrovert and introvert and were administered with 32 statements of English Language Learning Strategy Inventory or ELLSI to see their learning strategy. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics in terms of mean frequencies and statistical differences. The finding revealed that majority of senior high school students majoring science study program fell into introvert with 89.6% (52 students). Besides, extrovert students used more language learning strategy highly frequently than introvert students with eight items compared to introvert students with only five items. Interestingly, both extrovert and introvert students share four strategy items in common. Although it is statistically not significant (ρ &gt; 0.05), the finding also shows that extrovert students seemed to use affective strategy more than introverts who used memory strategy highly frequently.</em>

ABSTRACTThis research was aimed to focus on the most frequently used strategy by the successful and unsuccessful senior high school students and describe the difference of strategy used by them. This was a survey design with a questionnaire as the instrument. The participants were 40 students consisting of 20 successful students and 20 unsuccessful students of tenth grade in SMAN 2 Jember. The writer distributed SILL questionnaires to observe their Language Learning Strategy (LLS) based on Oxford (1990), which covers six categorizes of strategies namely cognitive, metacognitive, memory-related, compensatory, affective, and social. The statistical analysis showed that metacognitive became the most frequently learning strategy used by successful students in scale of high use, while the unsuccessful students were medium users of cognitive strategy. It also indicated successful learners employed all six categorizes of strategies in a highly frequencies than the unsuccessful ones. This makes the assumption that successful students have the ability to plan clear goals, control, review, and evaluate their learning rather than unsuccessful students who focus more on the way they think, memorize, summarize, and repeat the learning.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk fokus pada strategi yang paling sering digunakan oleh siswa SMA yang sukses dan kurang sukses serta menggambarkan perbedaan strategi yang digunakan oleh mereka. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survey dengan instrument berupa kuesioner, sedangkan tanggapan siswa dalam memilih strategi dibahas secara deskriptif. Partisipan adalah 40 siswa yang terdiri dari 20 siswa yang sukses dan 20 siswa yang tidak sukses dari kelas sepuluh di SMAN 2 Jember. Penulis membagikan kuesioner SILL untuk mengamati Language Learning Strategy (LLS) atau strategi pembelajaran bahasa mereka berdasarkan teori Oxford (1990, yang dikategorikan menjadi enam macam strategi, yaitu kognitif, metakognitif, memori, kompensatori, afektif, dan sosial. Menurut hasil statistic metacognitive menjadi strategi pembelajaran yang paling sering digunakan oleh siswa yang sukses dalam skala tinggi, sedangkan siswa yang kurang sukses adalah pengguna menengah dari strategi kognitif. Ini juga menunjukkan bahwa siswa yang sukses menggunakan keenam kategori strategi dalam frekuensi yang sangat tinggi daripada yang kurang sukses. Ini membuat asumsi bahwa siswa yang sukses memiliki kemampuan untuk merencanakan tujuan yang jelas, mengendalikan, meninjau, dan mengevaluasi pembelajaran mereka daripada siswa yang kurang sukses, yang lebih fokus pada cara mereka berpikir, menghafal, merangkum, dan mengulangi pembelajaran.

ABSTRACT:Most of the authors agree that attitudes are formed by three components, cognitive, affective and behavioural. In addition, a large number of studies have examined the attitudes of linguistic function in personal-social and psychological variables such as motivation. Nevertheless, very few studies have examined the relationship between the two variables (motivation and linguistic attitudes) from a second language learning. An adaptation of the Roces, Tourón and González’s Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (1995) along with the Ruiz de Azúa-Ormaza’s Linguistic Attitudes Questionnaire (2012) were administered to a sample of 1356 High School students (676 Men and 680 women). Latest school grades were also included. The results show that grades offer feedback on the relationship between the attitudes and motivation toward the study of the language, in such a way that the better the students’ academic marks are, the higher the motivation and the more positive the attitudes toward the subject´s learning. It has also been found that motivation for language learning has a higher predictive capacity on the attitudes toward this language than vice versa.RESUMEN:Aunque la mayor parte de los autores está de acuerdo en que las actitudes están formadas por tres componentes referidos a lo cognitivo, lo afectivo y lo conductual, y que gran cantidad de estudios han examinado las actitudes lingüísticas en función de variables sociopersonales y psicológicas como la motivación, son muy escasos los trabajos que han estudiado la relación entre ambas desde el aprendizaje de una segunda lengua. Participaron en esta investigación un total de 1356 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (676 hombres y 680 mujeres), que respondieron tanto a una adaptación del Cuestionario de Estrategias de Aprendizaje y Motivación (CEAM II) de Roces, Tourón y González (1995) para valorar la motivación escolar, como al Cuestionario de Actitudes Lingüísticas (CAL) de Ruiz de Azúa-Ormaza (2012), destinado a medir las actitudes lingüísticas. Además, se ob-tuvieron las calificaciones escolares relativas a la última evaluación de los participantes. Los resultados indican que las calificaciones retroalimentan la relación entre las actitudes y la motivación hacia el estudio del idioma de forma que cuanto mejores sean las notas del alumno estará más motivado hacia el aprendizaje de dicha materia y las actitudes hacia la misma serán más positivas que al contrario. Asimismo, se comprueba que la motivación para el aprendizaje de una lengua posee una capacidad de predicción sobre las actitudes hacia esta lengua mayor que a la inversa. Contacto principal: [email protected]
