This study is designed to identify the area of language learning strategies that were employed by ten successful English Language Learners of Form Five from a private secondary school in Kuching, Sarawak. The strategies used by these learners help promote and boost the use of strategies among poor language learners. Using a purposive sampling procedure, a group comprising of ten successful language learners of a private school in Kuching, Sarawak participated in the study. The findings indicated that successful language learners are high frequency users of language learning strategies. The findings revealed that metacognitive strategies are among the highest frequently used strategies, followed correspondingly by social, cognitive, compensation, affective and memory strategies found as the least used strategies among successful language learners. Interestingly, the study acknowledged that successful language learners employed more indirect strategies paralleled to direct strategies.

“…Personal determination is imperative to drive individuals towards excellence, and this usually stems from a positive home environment and consistent family support (Kim, Curby & Winsler, 2014). As the participants were exposed to the English language at home, the exposure instilled a feeling of comfort with the language and helped to foster their English literacy development (El-Omari, 2016;Hamid, 2011). In addition to the family factor, the kinds of English activities held in school contributed to the participants' mastery of English.…”
