English grammar learning strategies employed by the fourth year major English students: A case study at a university in Hanoi

Tóm tắt

This study is aimed at finding out the English grammar learning strategies that have been used by university students. The data collected from 118 fourth-year major English students at the Faculty of English at a university in Hanoi. The information was gathered by using a questionnaire which was adapted from Oxford’s (1990) Strategy Inventory for Language Learning with 34 question items. The results show that students used six English grammar learning strategies, with Cognitive strategies and Metacognitive strategies being the most popular, then Memory strategies, Affected strategies and Compensation strategies, and Affective Strategies being the lowest students’ choice rating. Accordingly, some implications
for English foreign language teachers and students were given. Hopefully, the results of the study may be useful for both teachers and students in their process of teaching and learning English as a foreign language.
