| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to identify EFL learning strategy use of male and female students. The focus was to attain the type and range of strategy they use and frequency level thereby to assess the differences/similarities in using the EFL learning strategies by male and female students. To this end, one hundred (44 male and 56 female) students were selected using stratified sampling technique. To measure students’ Language learning strategy, Oxford’s Strategy Inventory Language Learning (SILL) was employed with modification. The modified self report questionnaire with 40-items prepared and administered to all selected students. In addition, interview was conducted with ten percent of the target population. Data obtained through the questionnaire were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version-13. The descriptive statistics such as mean values, standard deviations, percentages and Independent T-test were considered in discussion. During discussion, data obtained through the self report questionnaire were cross checked using the data obtained through interviews. Results of the study show that females use more often the three main language learning strategies among the six language learning strategy than their male counterpart. An Independent sample T test shows that there was no significant difference between male and female in using the six main language learning strategies. | en_US |
