The purpose of this study
was to examine students’ language learning strategies in one private bilingual
junior high school in Jambi, Indonesia. Data were collected through SILL
questionnaires and face to face interviews. The questionnaires were analyzed
statistically while the interviews data were transcribed and analyzed line by
line from all participants. The SILL questionnaires and interviews were used to
seek the students’ types of language learning strategy and the differences of
language learning strategies between female and male students. Overall, the
findings revealed that participants mostly used memory strategies and there
were no significant differences between male and female students in using
language learning strategies in learning English. Suggestions and policy
implications are also discussed.
