Effective EFL teaching/learning has always been one of the most important interest areas for researchers, educators-practitioners. Language learners use different language learning strategies in performing the tasks and processing the new input they face. Language learning strategies are good indicators of how learners approach tasks or problems encountered during the process of language learning. This paper contributes to the discussion on how the use of learning strategies may affect the process of language learning. The obtained data revealed that students at NULES use a number of strategies relevant to their English studies, although wider and more frequent strategy use would be desirable in order to make their learning more effective.
