    Learning strategies are approaches used by learners to improve their skills, motivation, and confidence. They involve techniques like taking notes, organizing information, and summarizing. Learning strategies help students understand information, solve problems, and achieve their goals in studying. While learning styles describe personality traits, learning strategies refer to specific approaches used in learning activities and situations to actively process and apply knowledge effectively. There are many definitions of learning strategies but they generally involve intentional behaviors used during learning to help absorb, store, remember, and use new information.

    Learning strategies are the way used by learners to improve their learning.

    Through

    learning strategies, learners can control their own learning by improving their language skills,

    increasing the motivation in the learning process and also their confidence (Shi, 2017).

    According to Center for Research University of Kansas article (2009, p. 1) a learning strategy is

    “A person’s approach to learning and using information. Students use learning strategies to help them

    understand information and solve problems.” In other words, learning strategy is students’ strategy in

    learning and gaining information about subjects and knowledge. For instance, student takes a note

    when he/she is listening to the teachers, and learning the notes at night. Therefore he/she gets and

    remembers the knowledge from the information. Furthermore, students usually have some problems

    with certain subject, such as math, physic, philosophy theory or other subjects in which the students feel

    incapable with it. Thus, by having leaning strategies, student is able to obtain information or get some

    assistance to solve their problems and also achieve their goal. For students who take two majors, being

    successful on their study is a challenge. In reality, there are several students who tend to consistently

    study in every subject while some may not. It can be related to the learning strategy used by them to

    succeed in getting good grade. When students have their own learning strategy, it might help them a lot

    in studying. Students may face some obstacles during their study from many factors such as self

    encouragement, family matters, and financial. These obstacles cannot be avoided where those things

    will become beneficial lessons to the students’ life. Once they can solve it, the next semester they can

    minimize the obstacles. In other words, learning strategy is a wide range concept that may include a lot

    of possibilities based on certain circumstances.

    Learning strategies are defined as a set of approaches that learners use to acquire

    information and knowledge, such as taking notes, organizing information, summarizing, and

    coding (Muelas & Navarro,2015). There is a difference between learning style and learning
    strategies. Learning style is used to describe the information processing routines associated

    with students' personalities, whereas learning strategies refer to students' learning approaches

    in specific learning activities and learning situations (Curry, 1990; Li, Medwell, Wray, Wang, &

    Xiaojing, 2016). Effective learning strategies refer to techniques and approaches learners use to

    achieve the acquisition, storage, retention, recall, and adoption of knowledge. Cognitive

    learning theories consider learners asprimary participants in the education process in which

    their role goes beyond passively acquiring information to being active participants.

    Consequently, students not only receive information and knowledge but also perform mental

    activities to process and adopt information effectively (Shi,2017). Accordingly, learners have a

    wide range of sources and are free to select their learning strategies, direct their learning

    process, and control their tendencies and emotions to serve their learning objectives (Díaz,

    Zapata, Diaz, Arroyo, & Fuentes, 2019).

    Define the term of “Learning Strategy” is not simple and easy. There are a lot of

    definitions about learning strategy which have been defined by experts who concern on this

    matter. According to Longman Advanced American Dictionary the word “learning” means

    knowledge gained through reading and study, and “strategy” means a well plan actions for

    achieving an aim…(2007, p. 908, p. 1573). According to Richard, Platt, Platt (1998, p. 261)

    learning strategies is “Intentional behavior and thoughts that learners make use of during

    learning in order to better help them understand, learn or remember new information. These

    may include focusing on certain aspects of new information, analyzing and organizing

    information during learning to increase comprehension, evaluating learning when it is

    completed to see if further action is needed.” Several definitions above indicate that learning
    strategy has wide range including many aspects which attempt to focus on a goal. In acquiring

    some aspects as mentioned, a student needs to learn how to get as many information as

    possible from someone, media, or other sources as well as learn how to solve problem that

    might come from the student itself or other matters. Therefore, in order to understand more

    specific about how the students learn, it is necessary to understand student development,

    because it help them to adjust with the proper strategy. There are three courses in the

    developmental program in order to assert the way students learn.

    “Learning strategy is process about a the way how the students achieved their goal by

    their own way”. Another study conducted Kadaryanto (2012) “Learning strategy is the keys of

    every students inside the class to attain their goal and removes every obstacles toward their

    way to achieved the detailed goal.” Another study also conducted by Tamil (2013) “learning

    strategy is the first item built for students to face the assignment from the teacher to finish it,

    but in the term of long duration learning process.” meanwhile, another study conducted by

    Griffith (2004) “There is no consensus on what constitutes a learning strategy in second

    language learning or how these differ from other types of learner activities. Learning, teaching

    and communication strategies are often interlaced in discussions of language learning and are

    often applied to the same behavior. Further, even within the group of activities most often

    referred to as learning strategies, there is considerable confusion about definitions of specific

    strategies and about the hierarchic relationship among strategies.”
