Abstract: Learning strategies are approaches learners use to acquire information and knowledge.A good learning strategy produces positive learning outcomes.This is a quantitative study that explores the use of learning strategies among undergraduates.It used a 5-point Likert survey rooted in Wenden and Rubin (1987).The survey has 4 sections with a total of 44 items on cognitive components, metacognitive strategies, and resource management.The survey was conducted online with 160 respondents from a Malaysian public university.The results revealed that students moderately used learning strategies.The study also found strong positive relationships between language and thinking, and thinking with meaning.The findings of this study bear interesting implications in the teaching and learning of language in terms of strategy use.
