This classroom based research of a learning strategies model was designed to investigate its application in a mixed-ability classroom. The study built on Oxford’s language learning strategies model (1990, 2001) and fulfilled it with rhetorical strategies to accommodate challenges encountered in the paradigm of English as an international language (EIL). The main purpose aimed to explore Thai students’ self-efficacy beliefs (SE) in reading different texts regarding both Western and Asian styles after receiving a strategies-based training. In this research, thirty-three first-year undergraduate students majoring in English Education were purposively selected as participants for the training. The data from pre and post questionnaires focusing on students’ self-efficacy beliefs was analyzed using descriptive statistic and thematic analysis. The results revealed that students believed to have higher efficacy in EIL textual reading after learning strategies-based training. The presentation will also include discussion and suggestion in implementing rhetorical-language learning strategies in the classroom.

The Impact

This research falls within the area of language learning strategies (LLS) in English as a foreign language (EFL).  Although the impact of LLS on vocabulary learning has attracted ample of studies in the field on teaching English as a second or foreign language. However, teachers and learners’ views of LLS have not been investigated enough. To that end, this research sheds light on the adopted approaches while teaching these strategies by EFL teachers at the Higher Language Institute. It investigates whether these strategies are taught implicitly, explicitly or both. To conduct this study, the researcher applied two questionnaires: the questionnaires are used to evaluate the used memory and cognitive strategies by teachers and intermediate learners at the HLI. These instruments are applied on the sample that includes 36 intermediate and 30 EFL teachers at the HLI. The data obtained was dealt with descriptively and analytically. The findings show that the majority of teachers tend to train students to use memory and cognitive strategies implicitly. In addition, it was noticed that both teachers and learners use the same set of strategies which implies that teaching approaches has a direct impact on the used strategies by the learners.

Style Preferences

Learners’ success in language learning is affected by many factors, including age, aptitude, and intelligence, cognitive style, attitudes, motivation, and personality. Besides, learning strategies and learning styles also help to succeed in language learning. This paper discusses the learning style preferences of the first-year students at English Department Universitas Brawijaya Malang, Indonesia. There were two problems that attempted to be answered; first, what are the learning styles used by the students, and second, how influential is culture to the students’ learning. Barsch Learning Styles Inventory (BLSI) was employed as an instrument for 73 respondents. The results showed that more than 50% of respondents prefer visual mode, and the remaining were auditory learners, kinesthetic, and bimodal learners who combine visual and auditory modes in learning English. This might be affected by the culture of Indonesian learners that, in general, are accustomed to listening and reading instead of giving spaces to practice knowledge. Understanding the styles of learning can be very useful for the students to learn in the way they learn best through the activities. It will enable them to understand the course contents more comfortably so it can improve their motivation and language abilities, enjoy the learning process, decrease stress, and eventually get better achievement.
