Strategies used by Successful English Learners in a Chilean University

The objective of this study was to explore the language learning strategies most frequently used by successful English language learners at a Chilean University. 185 undergraduate students answered a questionnaire out total of 421 students registered in the English Language Program. The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) which consisted of a general questionnaire (Oxford, 1990) was the instrument used in this quantitative study. The results revealed that cognitive strategies were most frequently used by successful English learners. In general, students need to know more about the use of metacognitive strategies.
