Abstract
Language learning strategies are
considered as an important factor for influencing and
determining the success of language learning. In
order to implement differentiated instruction to meet
the diverse need of the learners it is vital to identify
individual differences of students learning strategies.
In this study, the use of language learning strategies
was investigated among Thai student studying

Makutkasat Secondary School. One hundred and
seventy-nine students participated in this study

the academic year 2012. The quantitative data was
collected by means of a questionnaire. The result
indicated that the participants frequently use social
strategies and meta-cognitive strategies. In addition,
differences in language learning strategies were
reported and student preference for strategy use was
reported. Specifically in terms of learning strategies,
grades 7 and 12 students had higher use of learning
strategies than grades 8, 9, 10, and 11 students. And
female students had higher use of learning strategies
of memory, cognitive, compensation meta-cognitive,
and social strategies than the male students.
Significant relationship was found between the use of
