sections. The first section discusses the language learning strategies were applied by the students to improve their speaking ability in Speaking I class. The second

In order to answer the research question number one, the researcher distributed questionnaire sheets consisted of close-ended questions to 22 students
in Speaking I class B and conducted an interview to three students. Oxford 1990, states that
students’ ability will be enhanced by developing the right strategies. The questionnaire result as can be seen in Appendix 4, shows that 21
students or 95 applied some language learning strategies to improve their speaking ability. There was only one participant or 5 who disagreed that she did
language learning strategies. However, after interviewing that student, it was found that there was misunderstanding. The interview result shows that she also
did language learning strategies without realizing it. It can be concluded that all students applied various language learning strategies to improve their speaking
