Language Strategies Deployed by the Learners of English Major Undergraduates: an Exploration of Its Status

In the first changing world of technology, communication takes a new shape every time. For this reason, bringing change to teaching effective communication is almost a herculean task for language trainers, especially for those who teach English as a second language. However, while exposed to the various learning activities, the learners of English deploy some strategies to learn English on their part. These strategies are unknown to them and therefore remain unstructured for teachers and students alike. The results showed that cognitive strategy among the direct and metacognitive strategy among the indirect is used most. Furthermore, females were reported deploying strategies more than their male counterparts with a statistical significance (p<0.05). Finally, the correlation between direct and indirect strategies was reported as moderately positive but significant (p<0.01).
