The participants of this study are one extrovert and one introvert student studying in a fully residential school in Perak. A semi structured interview and classroom observations were the methods employed to gather the data for this qualitative study. Based on the interview, the findings of this research reveals that the extrovert language learner preferred to use social strategies in learning English outside the class. However, the introvert language learner was more comfortable employing cognitive strategies in order to learn English outside the classroom. In class, both types of language learners utilized similar types of learning strategies, which are cognitive strategies, due to the nature of the English lesson and task involved. Overall the extrovert utilized more social strategies than the introvert participant while the introvert participant preferred to use more cognitive strategies than the extrovert. Language activities, incorporating group work were more attractive to the extrovert participant, while the introvert participant preferred structured and well-planned activities that can be completed alone. The implication of this study is that both students have different types of personalities which considerably influence choice of language learning strategies. Hence, various language tasks should be designed in order to make lessons more interesting and meaningful to both types of students. 2011 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=295 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=295 text eng N/A openAccess Masters Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Bahasa dan Komunikasi N/A |
