The purpose of this research was to explore strategies in learning English of
Students at Nakhon Si Thammarat Rajabhat University. The subjects were 256 freshmen
of Nakhon Si Thammarat Rajabhat University in the second semester of the academic
year 2014. They were selected base on the purpose sampling technique. Moreover,
they were divided into three ability groups: high, medium, and low by means of their
grades. The Thai versions of Style Orientation Scale for Strategy Inventory of Language
Learning Questionnaire (SILL) Oxford (1989) were administered to the sample groups.
Oxford’s check-lists and explanations were used in analyzing and explaining the
questionnaires’ results. Percentages were used for comparing the three groups.
The results indicated that all of three groups of these students “always” to
“usually” used the strategy of metacognitive. Cognitive strategies and compensation
strategies were found that the high and medium ability groups from “always” to
“usually” used these two strategies where as the low ability group “usually did not” to
“almost never” used them.
