Abstract

Learning strategies are one of the key ways to help students in mastering and understanding a language successfully. This can be done through using certain strategies during language learning. The learner is consciously or unconsciously using language-learning strategies to overcome difficulties in learning. This is aimed at identifying the Arabic language learning strategies used by the students of the University of Prince Songkhla Nikreen University, Thailand and their level of interest in Arabic in the use of language learning strategies at the University. The researchers used the questionnaire as a main tool for this research, where the questionnaires are distributed on the research sample. The researcher will use the language strategy of the Oxford Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) which will be translated into Thai language for students to understand it well. The study noted that the level of use of language learning strategies in the research sample appears moderately in general, either at the general level or at the level of the six axes. At the same time, the six strategies are used in a variety of learners, resulting in differences in the use of learning strategies at the level of paragraphs, both at the level High, or Low Smooth, or Low respectively.
