The questionnaire was administered to the 120 sample of students, while the interview and the supplementary test were administered to 25 samples of students each. The 25 samples for the interview and the test were selected from the 120 sample students using systematic sampling method. The result of the study shows that students are using metacognitive and cognitive strategies 'frequently', while the other strategies are 'rarely' used.
