English Language Learning Strategies of Agricultural Students of ANGRAU

The research aimed to study the English language learning strategies of agricultural students at Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University. To carry out the study, which was conducted between January and April, 2021, a total of 64 students studying Post-Graduation and PhD filled- out the interview schedule that was administered to them. The strategy inventory for language learning (SILL) questionnaire version 7.0 (Oxford, 1990) was utilized for this study. The interview schedule (google form) comprised 39 questions from the strategy inventory and these questions were modified slightly for Indian students. The results indicated that agricultural students of ANGRAU fell under ‘moderate strategies’ category in English language acquisition. Though the results showed ‘moderate to high strategies’ are followed by students, they do not use them ‘almost always’ or ‘always’.
